Yes, perl 5.005 doesn't understand -CO. You can replace that with
"binmode STDOUT, ':utf8'", but then you will find that it also doesn't
understand "U" as a pack specifier. :)
While the perl code nicely shows what is going on, perhaps it would be
simpler to just do something like:
auml=`printf '\xc3\xa4'`
(which is the output that the perl gives on my Linux system).
