Not exactly a valid test, besides it works for me. The issue is internal ascii data being written as ascii but instructing consumers it is uft8. $ cat utf8_test.pl #!/usr/bin/perl # use strict; use File::Slurp; my $inputfile = @ARGV[0]; my $logfilecontent = read_file($inputfile); binmode(STDOUT, ":utf8"); print $logfilecontent; $ ./utf8_test.pl testlog.txt übersät $ ./utf8_test.pl testlog.txt | hexdump -C 00000000 c3 bc 62 65 72 73 c3 a4 74 0a |..bers..t.| 0000000a $ hexdump.exe -C testlog.txt 00000000 fc 62 65 72 73 e4 74 0a |.bers.t.| 00000008 > > Well, that "garbage" is by design for UTF-8.
