Note: In the following source code,
replace "∃" with the UTF-8 representation of "∃", and
replace "трщь" with the UTF-8 representation of "трщь".
use strict;
use warnings;
no warnings 'redefine';
for (
[ "Symbol, use utf8: " => "use utf8; sub ∃ {}" ],
[ "Symbol, no utf8: " => "no utf8; sub ∃ {}" ],
[ "Russian, use utf8: " => "use utf8; sub трщ
+00; {}" ],
[ "Russian, no utf8: " => "no utf8; sub трщ
+00; {}" ],
) {
print $_->[0], eval "$_->[1]; 1" ? "Success\n" : $@;
}
outputs
Symbol, use utf8: Illegal declaration of anonymous subroutine at (eva
+l 1) line 1.
Symbol, no utf8: Illegal declaration of anonymous subroutine at (eva
+l 2) line 1.
Russian, use utf8: Success
Russian, no utf8: Illegal declaration of anonymous subroutine at (eva
+l 4) line 1.
If the problem is what you say it is, wouldn't use utf8 have no effect on the error?

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).
