If you want to use new feature of perl-5.8.0 and to read directly unicode data, you should tell to perl
that your file is Unicode:
open(my $fh,'<:utf8', 'anything');
my $line_of_unicode = <$fh>;
open(my $fh,'<:encoding(Big5)', 'anything');
my $line_of_unicode = <$fh>;
I got that code samples from perluniintro.pod, which is beautiful reading to start.
And yes, if you're not ready to move to perl-5.8.0 yet, then use Unicode::Map module to solve your task.
Courage, the Cowardly Dog.

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).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
