UTF-16LE is supported by the Encoding module, so it should work... Did you try down converting it to Latin-1? The less often used encodings don't have as many aliases, you may need to be more careful about how the encoding is specified.
Encode::from_to($string, 'UTF-16LE', 'utf8');
should be ok, as should
Encode::from_to($string, 'UTF-16LE', 'iso-8859-1');
You only need to single escape the forward slash in the regex. (Or use alternate delimiters.)
my $string = '5/18/05 184 7 3.8% 6.14 1.13';
if ($string =~ m#(\p{Digit}+/\p{Digit}+/\p{Digit}+)#){
print $1;
}

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).
