Thanks for the info. Man, this is a PITA :S Think I may have to take a break, and come back to it tomorrow.

There is definitely something up - because even using basic DBI connection, it still messes it up:

    my $dsn = "DBI:mysql:database=$db_cfg->{database};host=$db_cfg->{h
+ost};port=3307";
    my $dbh = DBI->connect($dsn, $db_cfg->{login}, $db_cfg->{password}
+);

    $dbh->{mysql_enable_utf8} = 1;

    my $sth = $dbh->prepare( "INSERT INTO ReadingGrabCache SET title =
+ ?" );
       $sth->execute( $title ) or die $DBI::errstr;

• Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
• Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

  <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>

• Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
• Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
