Coding UTF-8 or other character set related things is probably the most boring thing I know. When I started using computers there was problem with Swedish characters and ISO 8859-1 support in programs. It is so depressing to have similar kind of problems 25 years later...
You shouldn't need to do anything codec related directly. Surely Perl has builtin codecs for coding/decoding UTF-8, etc?
