"use utf8" still needed to enable UTF-8/UTF-EBCDIC in scripts
As a compatibility measure, the "use utf8" pragma must be explicitly i
+ncluded to enable
recognition of UTF-8 in the Perl scripts themselves (in string or regu
+lar expression literals,
or in identifier names) on ASCII-based machines or to recognize UTF-EB
+CDIC on EBCDIC-based
machines.
These are the only times when an explicit "use utf8" is needed. See u
+tf8.
Simply remove use utf8; from your script and you should get the output you desire :)
