I just resaved the file out as unicode 8-bit and everything worked just fine.
Ah yes, Windows does like UTF-16...
use warnings;
use strict;
use Encode 'encode';
my $in = "1130\t";
my $str = encode('UTF-16', $in, Encode::FB_CROAK);
$str=~s/^\xFE\xFF|\t//g; # remove BOM & tab
print $str*1, "\n";
__END__
Argument "\01\01\03\00\0" isn't numeric in multiplication (*) at - lin
+e 7.

An alternative for you would also be open($fh, '<:raw:encoding(UTF-16)', 'filetoparse.txt') ... (Updated to add :raw as per choroba's reply, thanks!)

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

Want more info? How to link
or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
