That's perfectly okay, please read perluniintro[1], perlunifaq[2] and the like!
If you are printing to a console, and that console is set up to expect UTF-8,
then you can use:

binmode(STDOUT, ":encoding(UTF-8)");

On this occasion I would like to recommend reading "The Absolute Minimum 
Every Software Developer Absolutely, Positively Must Know About Unicode 
and Character Sets (No Excuses!)"[3] by Joel Spolsky.

Quite the contrary, it most definitely does! :-)
