I've got a program called a2u on my site (http://www.scratchpaper.com/a2u.zip)
which can convert from ANSI codepage encoding to UTF-16.  The default codepage
is your system codepage.  That would mean that ASCII codes will convert to
Unicode nicely in most if not all codepage settings.  To translate to a
different codepage than the default, you can provide as the second parameter the
codepage name e.g. "THAI".  Just type "a2u" and you will get a listing of all
the different codepages currently supported.  The source is included also so if
you want you can extend it to do the reverse conversion pretty easily.  

Notepad.exe can also do the same sort of thing but it requires that the file be
opened and saved with the different formats and it will always assume the system
codepage (which may not be what you want if you are working on the VIETNAMESE
installer on a RUSSIAN codepage system).

I program in Perl, too, but I find the Unicode support in Python to be much
better.  You might want to convert your script to using Python instead which
will allow you to directly work with UTF-16 files.  I'm not sure how big of a
project that is, though.
