Seems to work.

Seems we may have a double encoding problem there,
open :locale says "please take characters from file in locales encoding
and convert them to unicode".
While use encoding qw(latin2) says assume chars are latin2
(and they aren't any more as encoding layer has converted them for you.)
Hmm.

Which makes a kind of sense to me.
'use encoding qw(...)'
(mainly) sets meaning of literals in the script.
Presumably you know what encoding you are in when you write
your script, but you don't know what locale user will be in when script
gets run.
