Since Embperl 2.0b10 you can say
EMBPERL_TOP_INCLUDE "use utf8;"
In your configuration. This will automaticly include this code at the start
of each page, so you don't have to do it manually.

Until Embperl handles this automaticly, you should put this into an
application object. That allows you to do this once in init method of the
application object.
