Ideally it would convert them from ISO-8859-1 (which they almost
certainly are) to UTF-8. I couldn't figure out how to do that in
perl, unfortunately.
This is just a 'make it limp along' fix. The particular case that
triggered it was an HP PPD file with a degrees sign (I think) in the
name for an angular option of some sort.
