in reply to Re^2: DBD::Pg encodes Perlstring to UTF-8 bytes instead of WIN1252 regardless client encoding
in thread DBD::Pg encodes Perlstring to UTF-8 bytes instead of WIN1252 regardless client encoding

client encoding tells WIN1252

Then set it to UTF-8. It will be much more pleasant to work with from Perl and DBD::Pg/DBI.

Perl 6 - the future is here, just unevenly distributed

    I did, but that's not the point of my question why I need to at all to get it working, because depending on the client encoding DBD::Pg should properly encode the data itself.
