Hi, Team

I am back again for my next question.

1. OS: Windows 7 Professional 32-bit (6.1, Build 7601) Service Pack 1 (7601.win7sp1_gdr.130318-1533)
2. Perl: perl 5, version 16, subversion 3 (v5.16.3)

I am trying to read line by line a text file with special characters and store each line in MySQL server, whose character set settings are shown below.

Variable	Value
character_set_client	$utf8
character_set_database	$utf8
character_set_filesystem	$binary
character_set_results	$utf8
character_set_server	$utf8
character_set_system	$utf8

The charset of both the schema and the table is set as utf8.

Input Text File Line

My code to read the text file includes: open $REF_INPUT_FH, '<:encoding(UTF-8)',  $filepath . $job_number. '_BIB.txt';

I read each line and insert data:

$dbh->do("INSERT INTO es_ce_automation_bibliography_linking.`$job_chos
+en` (bib_book_element, bib_ID, bib_item, bib_added_by, bib_added_date
+) VALUES(
'$book_element', '$temp_ID', '$temp_RefItem', '$created_by', now()
)") or warn 'Some error!'

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks,
