In the docs for Text::CSV, that way of creating a new object is
mentioned at the top of the SYNOPSIS section. The solution to your
problem is stated right after that.
So, the usual recommendation:
"Read the docs for the module you are using."
is very much applicable. ;-)

OK, thanks for this polite RTFM.
However, it doesn't answer the root question, namely how to parse text
that contains Western European characters such as accents and umlauts.
I see from the Text::CSV documentation that this module handles only
characters between 0x20 and 0x7e. I also see there is a binary mode for
any character, but the documentation does not describe whether the
module parses binary-mode characters the same way as ASCII characters.
This seems like a fairly standard problem. What's the "right" way (or,
given perl culture, "a" way) to handle text outside the 0x20 to 0x7e range?
Many thanks!
