Just out of curiosity:

What was now the root cause?

A lot of people here use Perl on Windows. One of my main uses for Perl
is manipulating Microsoft Word/Excel documents via Win32::OLE.

linux server. I need to look at the setup on both.
Did you know you can use Explorer as an ftp client on Windows? It's
fairly handy.

Also have a look at line endings, windows-style line ends
(CRLF) generally don't mix well with Perl on *nix systems
The only problem with these on Unix systems is "bad interpreter"
messages if there is a ^M at the end of the #! line. But these
messages come from the shell, not Perl itself. Perl is able to cope
with any kind of line endings on Unix, so you can run your scripts
as "perl myscript" it will be OK.
Another little trick I've used before in such situations is, after uploading, go to your Linux shell and open the script in 'pico', then save the file. When pico saves the file, it will have converted any \CR\LF sequences to just LF. I am not sure who it handles UTF8, however. And I'm sure there are other tools for converting as well.

Good news. It is all working fine now. I tested it with French, German, Persian, Chinese and Greek.
I had some problems with DBI and MySQL with Perl and UTF8 but I managed to get that to work too.
Many thanks for all the input.
