The characters you describe are not ASCII which is why the module is having
problems with them.
According to the documentation for Class::CSV "Text::CSV_XS is used for
parsing and creating CSV file lines, so any limitations in Text::CSV_XS will
of course be inherant in this module.", and according to the documentation for
Text::CSV_XS:
<quote>
new(\%attr)
[snip]
binary
If this attribute is TRUE, you may use binary characters in quoted fields,
including line feeds, carriage returns and NUL bytes. (The latter must be
escaped as "0.) By default this feature is off.

So try setting the binary attribute:
my $csv_file = Class::CSV->new( binary => 1 );
Or if that doesn't work just use the Text::CSV_XS module.
