Decode everything that comes from the outside. Encode everything that leaves your program. use utf8;
Why use utf8;? As I understand the documentation, its purpose is to enable the source code to be in UTF-8 (so you can do e.g. my $ñ = 'foo'; where 'ñ' is not a single byte). It even says "Do not use this pragma for anything else than telling Perl that your script is written in UTF-8".
I thought the preferred way to decode/encode the program's input/output was by using Encode.

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).
