How do I write Arabic in Perl source files?

I need to write Arabic words as labels inside a .pm file. It is not working for me. I tried ASCII letters and they worked. Is there a better way to do so?

I tried something like:

<span dir="rtl" lang="ar">&#1593;&#1585;&#1576;&#1610;</span>

use utf8;

tells Perl that your program is written with utf-8 encoding. Do not use encoding pragma - it is broken.
