It's

=encoding utf8

Documented in perlpod:

        "=encoding encodingname"
            This command is used for declaring the encoding of a  
document.
            Most users won't need this; but if your encoding isn't US- 
ASCII or
            Latin-1, then put a "=encoding encodingname" command  
early in the
            document so that pod formatters will know how to decode  
the docu-
            ment.  For encodingname, use a name recognized by the  
Encode::Sup-
            ported module.  Examples:

              =encoding utf8

              =encoding koi8-r

              =encoding ShiftJIS

              =encoding big5

Best,
