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(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. SEE ALSO
