I wouldn't recommend throwing out UTF-8 just for a buglet in perl (unless you
know you don't need Unicode at all, not now and not later).

Fix it instead on a case by case basis by temporarily disabling the
locale. You can do this under sh-like shells (e.g. bash) with

LANG=C LC_ALL=C <mycommand>

and under csh-like shells (csh, tcsh) with

env LANG=C LC_ALL=C <mycommand>

If you are lazy do the following:
mv /path/to/command /path/to/command_bin
cat > /path/to/command <<EOF
#! /bin/sh
LANG=C; export LANG
LC_ALL=C; export LC_ALL
$0_bin "$@"
EOF
chown 0:0 /path/to/command_bin
chmod +x /path/to/command_bin
