When I open your attachment 'try.pl' in BBEdit it has Mac encoding 
and Mac linefeeds and five invisible characters that I haven't 
analysed wherever you have double line-spacing.  And if I tell BBEdit 
to re-open the file as utf-8 I get the warning "The UTF-8 file 
'try.pl' is damaged or badly formed, so it looks to me as if your 
editor may be at fault.

I have BBEdit set to create new documents with UTF-8 encoding and 
UNIX line feeds and to use UTF-8 for I/O.  I gather you don't use 
BBEdit.
