Well, I know of one method and that is XML::Parser.
Version 2.29 (correct me, if I'm wrong) will read
unicode properly into perl scalars.

So you might have to put a
<doc>
  ...your japanese text
</doc>
envelope around it?

With the addition of unicode support in Perl 5.6.0, I was hoping 
to be able to
use some existing perl scripts (with minor modifications) on 
Japanese text. 
However, man perl-unicode explains that Perl can't read utf8 encoded text
files.    So the question is,

How does one get utf8 text into Perl 5.6 strings?
