I went back to look at perluniintro because I was sure I could

where an explicit "use utf8" is needed: if your Perl script itself
is encoded in UTF-8...."
Nevertheless (Perl 5.8.6) if you simply comment
#binmode (DATA,":utf8");
#binmode (STDOUT,":utf8");
provided your script is UTF-8 encoded, there is no need for 'use
utf8'. The script you posted works fine in that case, as does
$f = "$ENV{HOME}/junk.txt";
open F, ">$f";
print F "月";
close F;
open F, $f;
for (<F>) {/月/ and print}
