Bug#1020574: perl-doc: encoding issue / spelling mistake with "perldoc perlfaq4"

Package: perl-doc
Version: 5.34.0-5
Severity: minor

"perldoc perlfaq4" gives in UTF-8 locales

[...]
    The trick to this problem is avoiding accidental autovivification. If
    you want to check three keys deep, you might na<EF>vely try this:

where <EF> is actually the EF byte as shown by the "less" pager.

This should be encoded in UTF-8. However, this is a spelling mistake:
contrary to French, there is no ï in English (at least, my dictionaries
cannot find such a variant): naively.
