Looks like you're using perl-5.6.1, right?
You have the option to upgrade to 5.8.0 and follow the advices in the
perlunicode and perluniintro manpages.
For 5.6.1 you will, as shown in a recent posting on this list by Mark
Proctor, have success by running misbehaving strings through the
following conversion:
$var = pack('U*', unpack('U*', $var));
