Thanks for the locale info.

We still need to see the code - the "Malformed UTF-8 character" 
message gives a line number. Copy paste the error message
and the lines around the line mentioned in the error message.

"Malformed UTF-8 character" means what it says - the bytes perl saw
did not encode a character in UTF-8. This can happen if code 
breaks streams of bytes (say ever 1024) and multi-byte character
crosses a boundary (so we need to see code to see how it is chopping it up);
or something else has already "decoded" the character.
