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: Reading the IPTC EnvelopeRecord Tags in a jpeg file
This will do the conversion to Latin1 for a single file, presuming that the CodedCharacterSet is set to utf8 to begin with:

exiftool -tagsfromfile FILE -iptc:all -codedcharacterset= FILE

But due to the different order of operations in batch mode (tags are copied from the file after static tag assignments have been performed), the command is a bit different in batch mode:

exiftool -tagsfromfile @ -iptc:all --codedcharacterset -codedcharacterset= DIR

The bottom line is that exiftool encodes IPTC based on the value of CodedCharacterSet.
