Those utf8 issues are very strange. I don't understand the logic. I 
confirm I had also to suppress this line to avoid corrupted reports. My 
'feeling' is that binmode should be avoided at all. If characters are 
correctly handled in Perl script, explicitly specifying output file 
encoding is not required anymore. If you began doing binmode on files, 
you also need to encode-decode strings, and at the end of the day you 
get Nahuel double-encoding problems.
