Yes, "use utf8;" doesn't help. However, "use encoding 'utf8';" does solve the 
issue. 

The thing is that the translations are inserted as utf-8 into the program 
code, so perl needs to interpret the whole script as utf8 (the console is set 
to utf8 by default, so when it gets the two-byte sequence, it automatically 
displays it correctly as utf8, even though the string is not utf; the file 
writer on the other hand seems to try to do some more magic and messes things 
up). I'm still wondering why "use utf8;" doesn't work, though, while "use 
encoding 'utf8';"does..

Cheers,
Reinhold
