Erk.

Sorry for the feint, Mark.

CPAN is the perl way to get perl modules and such, but see below.

"Stripping those few foreign accent characters" is probably not really what
you want to do.

Those "accent characters" are misinterpreted foreign encoding (likely not
to be Unicode) characters. Simply "stripping" the "accent characters" will
basically convert them to truly meaningless junk. I suppose the meaningless
junk can then be interpreted by the reader as "used to be a be a foreign
word here", but why bother contributing further to information entropy?

Have you read the perldoc on internationalization?
