Try "use utf8" - it lets Perl know that your script contains utf8 chars.

I thought I'd understood how to use unicode support in perl, but
evidently not. In the script below, I'm stumped as to:
1) why the regex won't match '月'.
2) why the substitution is carried out, but the result isn't in
UTF8, nor is it UTF8 re-encoded in UTF8 (uncomment #require
Encode; ........... #Encode::decode_utf8($_); to test this )
TIA
