So if you got the display working, why do you now want to strip the diacritics?
Anyway, Text::Unidecode. And while I'm at it, here's the boilerplate code for getting Perl reasonably UTF-8:
use utf8; # upgrades your strings
my $city = "Sprîngfíèld";
binmode(STDOUT, ":encoding(utf-8)");
print $city, "\n";
# use decode_utf8() when reading from e.g. a file
# alternatively, see the binmode() call above
use Encode 'decode_utf8';
my $input_raw = <STDIN>;
my $input = decode_utf8($input_raw);
print $input, "\n";

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
