Eclipse Character Set Problem During Save

I'm using ECLIPSE as the Perl editor on my Windows machine together with EPIC Perl. If I copy/paste sample code from Perl books I get the error :

Save could not be completed.
Reason:
Some characters cannot be mapped using "Cp1254" character encoding.
Either change the encoding or remove the characters which are not supported by the "Cp1254" character encoding..

In order to overcome this problem go Window > Preferences > General > Content Types > Text > Perl Source Files > Default Encoding and make it UTF-8
