Please check this sample. Did you handle Perl's internal format in such
like manner?

#!/usr/local/bin/perl -w
use 5.008;
use strict;
use warnings;

use LWP::Simple;
my $uri = 'http://www.reitsport-schill.de/index1053542873.html';
my $remotedoc = get($uri);
$remotedoc =~ m/<title>(.*?)<\/title>/;
my $ISO_8859_1 = $1;

use Encode;
my $Perl_Internal = decode('ISO-8859-1', $ISO_8859_1);
my $UTF8 = encode('UTF8', $Perl_Internal);
print $UTF8;
__END__
