Here I suppose the LDAP module that returns last name, gives you "decoded utf8 string". What do you see in log.txt file? and any warning message?
my $lastname=''; #here put the return value of LDAP
open( my $fh, ">:encoding(UTF-8)", "log.txt") or die $!;
print $fh utf8::is_utf8($lastname) ? 'utf8 flagged,' : 'not utf8 flagg
+ed,';
print $fh $lastname;
close $fh;
Some string (in this case LDAP)

LDAP module?
| <--- here LDAP returns what? is important information
perl
|
utf8 text
Do you see the manual of LDAP module has 'encoding' or 'binmode' section for this information?

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).

are good places to start.
