    I only work in Perl occasionaly, and have been searching for a
    solution for a conversion, and everything I found seems much too
    complex.

    All I need to do is take a simple text file [that had been created
    from a Perl script] and copy it, however some specific lines are in
    fact in UTF8 as printed garbagy characters and they need to be
    converted to Unicode, so that the new text file can be imported into a
    desktop program and into some Word documents.

    For the moment [if it makes it easier] I would be happy to get a
    solution for most European languages, and could skip things like
    Russion and Chinese till later

    Español - for example should convert to Español
