the Unrecognized switch: -O is from the perl call:

++ perl -CO -e 'print pack("U",0x00E4)'
Unrecognized switch: -O  (-h will show valid options).
+ auml=
++ perl -CO -e 'print pack("U",0x0061).pack("U",0x0308)'
Unrecognized switch: -O  (-h will show valid options).
+ aumlcdiar=


here is the output log:

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).
