Could you be a bit more specific on this ?
I've built many a site in international character sets and using
Apache::ASP for well over decade, so I can tell you that it it works
just fine with UTF-8 (and ISO-8859-[157] if that matters).
Last problem was back in 2004 when Content-Length was incorrectly
calculated.

That's as simple as
``$Response->{ContentType} = "text/html; charset=UTF-8";''
It doesn't tell us anything about the actual encoding of the content.
Bear in mind that your selected encoding might be insufficient to
display the text you're feeding it.

How does file handling come into play here ? Not that it's relevant but
it works quite the same way as outside of Apache::ASP.

Have a look at Text::Iconv, iconv(1), iconv(3) and friends. Also, Encode.
