This could be locale-related. With a utf8 locale (e.g. LC_ALL=de_DE.UTF-8) it seems to pass. With a iso8859-1 or ascii locale (e.g. de_DE.ISO8859-1 or C) it fails.

Any hints on how to solve that problem? I tried to read https://perldoc.perl.org/perllocale.html but I cannot find a solution that seem to work.

I guess it's an external tool which depends on the locale, and this external tool is called with system() or similar functions. In this case a possible solution is: { local $ENV{LC_ALL} = 'en_US.UTF-8'; system(...); } But if there's no en_US.UTF-8 locale installed, then this won't help. Theoretically it's possible that there's another utf-8 locale available --- on Unix systems the command "locale -a" will show what is available. It's also possible that there's *no* utf-8 locale installed at all. I can imagine that this may be the case for very minimal installations with just the "C" locale.
