John,

Without looking at your code, this could be a number of things, some
of them, that you never tell the server the encoding you are using
when uploading, or the server messing up things when storing the
content.  Or the server messing up things when it offers the content.

I found the intro at the Perl XML FAQ

   http://perl-xml.sourceforge.net/faq/#encodings

quite helpful to understand the relevant issues.
