How are you letting DBI know to decode these strings as UTF8?

    The fun thing about Dancer is: You do not need to take care. At least that's my impression.


    s$$([},&%#}/&/]+}%&{})*;#$&&s&&$^X.($'^"%]=\&(|?*{%
    +.+=%;.#_}\&"^"-+%*).}%:##%}={~=~:.")&e&&s""`$''`"e

      Sounds like wishful thinking

        Nope, it is Perl's "Do What I Mean" magic.

        But seriously, in the docs of Dancer::Plugin::Database I read:

        AUTOMATIC UTF-8 SUPPORT
        As of version 1.20, if your application is configured to use UTF-8 (you've defined the charset setting in your app config as UTF-8) then support for UTF-8 for the database connection will be enabled, if we know how to do so for the database driver in use. If you do not want this behaviour, set auto_utf8 to a false value when providing the connection details.
        So indeed don't do anything other than enabling UTF-8 in your configuration and don't mess around with setting UTF-8 yourself.

        DWIMMERY at its best.

There should be neither too little or too much, neither needless loops nor useless variables, neither lack of structure nor overwhelming rigidity." - The Tao of Programming, 4.1 - Geoffrey James
