How Do I Detect Data That's Not Valid In a Particular Encoding?

Use the Encode package to try converting it. For example,

    use Encode 'decode_utf8';
    eval { decode_utf8($string, Encode::FB_CROAK) };
    if ($@) {
        # $string is valid utf8
    } else {
        # $string is not valid utf8
    }

Should be

    use Encode 'decode_utf8';
    eval { decode_utf8($string, Encode::FB_CROAK) };
    if ($@) {
        # $string is not valid utf8
    } else {
        # $string is valid utf8
    }
