Chances are that the locale when running as a cgi is different than the loca=
le you got when logging into the server interactively.

I would suggest to use

use POSIX qw(locale_h);
use locale;
setlocale(LC_CTYPE, "de_DE.UTF-8");

INSIDE the script

More details on this to be found here https://perldoc.perl.org/perllocale.ht=
