Ermmm... that's because by the time you get to the -COL switch you're 
already inside the perl interpreter that you called from the command line

I think you meant

$ chmod 755 test.pl
$ ./test.pl

Which gives me the output you want : Hello wérld

Unless I've missed something, which is highly likely
