Re^8: UTF8 issue when getting website via LWP::UserAgent in Perl

that's because you binmoded STDOUT... here's a simpler way to show the problem:

perl -E'binmode STDOUT, ":utf8"; say "Румыния";'

Ah you little beauty - that did it! It still shows up buggered in phpmyadmin: view here ...but when going in/out of the DB, it now seems to output it correctly :) The weird thing, is that if I look at the data from that table using the CMS's own admin panel (where you can view the data) ... then it looks fine! It just seems to be phpmyadmin that has it confused now. Thanks :) Andy	[reply]

It just seems to be phpmyadmin that has it confused now. Yet another reason (if one were needed) to avoid that particular "utility".	[reply]

haha - and what would you suggest using instead? Its a nice system as a GUI, especially when trying to get new tables / columns etc setup quick ;)	[reply]
