in thread Perl 5.8, DBI and unicode

Good thoughts. I do have Perl 5.8, but I don't know the answer to your question. However, I did look in the perldocs and found the "perlunicode" section, accessible by doing 
  perldoc perlunicode

[download]
at a command prompt. You might find some useful info in there.

If you don't find a good answer here, you should post your question on the Perl DBI mailing list - I'm pretty sure someone would be able to help you there.

    I have read the docs, especially perldoc unicode
    But i must confess that it's true that I don't think that I have completely understood Perl's unicode model...

    What makes me clueless here is that when i print the SQL statement, either to the browser or apache log, it shows fine ISO. But then it ends up as unicode in the database. Working explicitly with Encode::decode_utf8 on the data also had no effect.
