in reply to Writing HTML file with UTF-8 chars

The solution was

Add use utf8;
add binmode OUT, ":utf8"; after the file open
Do not use encode() on the values

Thanks for the comebacks everyone.

On the second point: add binmode OUT, ":utf8";after the file open

I think is better, to use binmode OUT, ":encoding(UTF-8)"; because ':encoding(UTF-8)'checks the data for actually being valid UTF-8, while ':utf8' just marks the data as UTF-8 without further checking.
Please check binmode.
