If I used it in a UTF-8 encoded perl program and was also using "use utf8;" in it, I expected that it understand that it should be encoded to UTF-8.

I don't think that's what the utf8 pragma is about. (But, as I'm sure you understand, my UTF-8 knowledge is limited.)

    perldoc utf8

This is an example program where "use utf8;" makes a difference:

    use utf8;
    $igår = '2009-02-24';
    print "Yesterday: $igår\n";

("igår" is Swedish for "yesterday")

Well I have tried the scripts from the 2 messages, but I must admit that I don't understand what I should look for.
Both of them print the same thing, no matter if I use "use utf8;" or not....
