No, it isn't. So your source is actually in iso-8859-1. Just the second
half looks weird to me (what is changing the perceived encoding of the
string after appending something seemingly harmless?
Anyway -- I'd suggest to stick to utf-8 (and use a text editor that
supports it). In the long run you'll have less headaches. In the
meantime, if your editor doesn't help you, you might try
use Encode 'decode';
...
$str = decode("iso-8859-1", 'à présent protégé');
(see man perluniintro, man perlunicode for the gory details).
