Bug#752185: perldoc displays characters in UTF-8 even in non UTF-8 environments

Hash: SHA512

Package: perl-doc
Version: 5.18.2-4
Severity: normal

When looking at documentation with perldoc, the output is displayed
using UTF-8. For example the middle dot "·" is displayed as "·".
Likewise other characters that are not ASCII.

I, for example have latin1 and do not want to switch to UTF-8 (Not want
to discuss about that in this ticket please, this would be OT). If I do
"perldoc Dancer::Cookbook" (Just an example) you can see wrong output.
If you look at it with "man Dancer::Cookbook", the output is fine.
