Doesn't work for me, using perl-5.8.0 in a de_DE.UTF-8 locale.
It seems that the conversion from #xFF to #xC3 #xBF is done in
perl's print function.
perl -e 'no locale; $s = pack("C",255) x 65537; foreach (1..257) {print $s}'
doesn't help either. The only thing that seems to help is
LC_ALL=C perl ...
