I was going to recommend passing only characters that don't exist in iso-latin-1 to unidecode using a fallback handler to encode. It works, but I'm getting an error ( Close with partial character.) when the file handle is closed, and I have no idea how to fix it.
Here's the code anyway:
use strict;
use warnings;
use PerlIO::encoding qw( );
use Text::Unidecode qw( unidecode );
use constant FB_UNIDECODE => sub { unidecode(chr($_[0])) };
my $file = '...';
local $PerlIO::encoding::fallback = FB_UNIDECODE;
open(my $fh, '>:encoding(iso-8859-1)', $file)
or die("Unable to create file \"$file\": $!\n");
print $fh "abc\x{201C}def\x{2013}ghi";

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).
