Shouldn't take much more than
#after opening for reading
binmode(IFH, ':utf8');
#before writing
binmode(OFH, ':utf8');
to fix your formatting script.
If adding perl dependency, you'll need to require at least 5.6.1
for utf8, although 5.8 or better yet 5.10 would be preferable;
perl may be up to 5.14 but plenty of systems are still running
older versions, particularly as the default perl from the OS.
