You should look at the Encode module instead.  Unicode::MapUTF8 
appears to have been designed for a time when Perl didn't have
native Unicode support (which is not surprising, as it hasn't been
updated since 2001).

The 'decode' and 'encode_utf8' functions from the Encode module
should be all you need.  In fact, you may not even need 'encode_utf8',
as you can just open the output file in UTF-8 mode:

  open(OUT, ">:encoding(utf-8)", $file) or die;
