<p>If UTF-8 data is important to you, you need to insist on having perl 5.8+. 5.6.1 was almost there, but not good enough.</p>
<p>Your open statement would be fine in 5.8 aside from not checking return status. The difficulty is likeliest coming from the PerlIO mode argument. PerlIO wasn't the default until 5.8.</p>
