encoding problem?

I am trying to use perl on the command line to process text files in
various ways, one of which is to decode html entities. As far as I can
see, the following line should work
perl -MHTML::Entities -p -e 'decode_entities($_)' <input.txt
output.txt
it does indeed change the html entities, but not into the required
characters, rather into pairs of unusual characters; and the command
line returns this:
Wide character in print, <> line 1.
It seems to me it is something to do with internal character encoding
being messed up but I can't work out how to control it. The text files
processed have MacOS character encoding which is required in the
finished file, but perhaps I need to convert to UTF8 before processing
and back again after?
(I am seriously new to this - only started looking at Perl yesterday!)
