Bug#718611: Encode.pm: Cannot decode string with wide characters.

[Sthu]

Package: perl
Version: 5.14.2-21
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,


In my script previously working well, is now broken with this error:

Cannot decode string with wide characters at /usr/lib/perl/5.14/Encode.pm line 174.

That is called from the script w/

decode( "UTF-8", $file_path );

Thank you for your work for debian!
