You don't. There's no such thing as formatted ASCII text. You could look
into a module such as RTF::Tokenizer if you want to parse apart the RTF file
and extract the text from it. If you want to know what formatting has been
applied you'll also need to check the formatting commands as you go.

Assuming your data is not already utf8:
[untested]
use Encode;
open(my $out, '>:utf8', 'somefile.dat') or die "Could not open file: $!";
print $out Encode::encode('utf8', $mydata);
close($out) or die "Could not close file: $!";
Otherwise you could skip the encoding step.
