Note that those characters aren't in Latin-1 but are in Windows-1252 so, when using an 8-bit-character encoding, you might see those characters correctly in any number of places (including many things not at all related to MicroSoft and things that you'd expect to be strongly compliant to standards and claiming to be using Latin-1) and yet still find plenty of things that don't agree that you have those characters correctly encoded.
Since Perl source code is still most often in an 8-bit-character encoding (not UTF-8), putting such characters directly into your code certainly has a chance of not always working. You might be better off hard-coding both the Windows-1252 code points and the UTF-8 code points for such characters so that you'll catch them either way.

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).
