I wanted to build an awesome place for people to discuss module specific issues, but I don't have any more time for this, and there are much better places to discuss Perl-related issues. I'd recommend asking your question on Stack Overflow or on Perl Monks.
If you are looking for a Perl tutorial or Perl-related news, I hope these links will serve you well.

Re: Warning: Malformed UTF-8 character(s)
This works because 1) ExifTool assumes IPTC in the file is coded in Latin1 unless the recorded CodedCharacterSet is "ESC % G" (UTF8), and 2) the -L option specifies the external character set as Latin1.

When the recorded character set is the same as the external character set, no translation is performed.

I hope this makes a bit more sense now. :)
