Start with the database: has there been a change in the last few weeks that has changed the database default character set, and might that be different than what the perl code outputs to the browser?
Here's a hint: the encoding isn't a problem on the forum title pages, just with you click on a link is when the issue is displayed.
Though's from the from my fellow web-dev freepers? Note: (This thread for Web-Dev experts only. All others, please lurk)

It usually occurs when you CUT AND PASTE text that contains non letter text (apostrophe, comma, colon, semi-colon, etc)

Just the curly ones. Seriously. Straight quotes should cut and paste fine. Something went haywire after our last systems software upgrade and apparently fouled up the ms-smart character routine.
Hoping John solves the problem soon.

BTW, all you have to do to keep it from appearing in your post is to go back through any TEXT you CUT AND PASTE and delete the offending character (such as an apostrophe) and the SPACE after it (which helps identify which ones are a problem) and replace it with just an apostrophe.
Your post will then appear normally.

Rewrite the system in C#.NET, from orbit.
It’s the only way to be sure.

It’s from cutting and pasting. Not translating certain characters on cut and paste.
