Where did you put it? I tried in the ja file, but it didn't changed
anything.

The strange thing is that it works for regular text. In that case, the 
following are called on the out filehandle:

binmode(FILE, ':utf8');
binmode(FILE,':encoding(utf-8-strict)');

Also the fact that it works when outputting in the console is strange 
since it makes it look like that the character were rightly ingested
by perl and decoded to the internal perl encoding.
