Probably, Text::CSV::Encoded is what you are looking for.

use Text::CSV::Encoded;
my $csv = Text::CSV::Encoded->new ({binary=>1, encoding=>"utf8"}) or d
+ie $!;
while (my $row = $csv->getline (*ARGV)) {
    $csv->print(\*STDOUT, $row);
}

This works fine with my perl 5.12.2, with command line ...

perl test.pl test.csv

Text::CSV::Encoded is indeed a nice extension to the Text::CSV parser family, but it does solve the underlying problem as stated in the original quest. use encoding ... is (or now was) broken in combination with XS code. Most bugs that stem from that are workaround-able by using other encode/decode approaches, but it is (or was) still a bug.
