@clarkej @mtajammul i guess your problem seems to to be not defining utf character set in perl as this was my problem before with dropbox and bench manager, both throw the same error as yours only different is the character that it recognizes is different ( different ascii code), may be you are using another language next to english, if so you could just add it to perl as utf language and it will automatically fix things for you
this link will explain more and guide you more Dropbox Backup question - UnicodeDecodeError arabic locale - #24 by a.elhaidary just check what other language you are using and add it, hope it helps and may fix your problem
