What are the encoding schemes on both machines? You'll have to either switch one of the encoding schemes or to convert the file (recode, iconv, dos2unix, ...)

piconv
PICONV(1) Perl Programmers Reference Guide PICONV(1)
NAME
piconv -- iconv(1), reinvented in perl
SYNOPSIS
piconv [-f from_encoding] [-t to_encoding] [-s string] [files...]
piconv -l
DESCRIPTION
piconv is perl version of iconv, a character encoding converter widely available for various Unixen today. This script was primarily a
technology demonstrator for Perl 5.8.0, but you can use piconv in the place of iconv for virtually any case.
piconv converts the character encoding of either STDIN or files specified in the argument and prints out to STDOUT.
Here is the list of options.
-f from_encoding
Specifies the encoding you are converting from. Unlike iconv, this option can be omitted. In such cases, the current locale is used.
-t to_encoding
Specifies the encoding you are converting to. Unlike iconv, this option can be omitted. In such cases, the current locale is used.
Therefore, when both -f and -t are omitted, piconv just acts like cat.
-s string
uses string instead of file for the source of text. Same as iconv.
-l Lists all available encodings, one per line, in case-insensitive order. Note that only the canonical names are listed; many aliases
exist. For example, the names are case-insensitive, and many standard and common aliases work, such as "latin1" for "ISO-8859-1", or
"ibm850" instead of "cp850", or "winlatin1" for "cp1252". See Encode::Supported for a full discussion.
-C N
Check the validity of the stream if N = 1. When N = -1, something interesting happens when it encounters an invalid character.
-c Same as "-C 1".
-p Same as "-C -1".
-h Show usage.
-D Invokes debugging mode. Primarily for Encode hackers.
-S scheme
Selects which scheme is to be used for conversion. Available schemes are as follows:
from_to
Uses Encode::from_to for conversion. This is the default.
decode_encode
Input strings are decode()d then encode()d. A straight two-step implementation.
perlio
The new perlIO layer is used. NI-S' favorite.
Like the -D option, this is also for Encode hackers.
