Hello,

I'm having a problem using DBD::Oracle. The locale of the system is en_US.UTF-8, and that is the encoding we use for our string-processing. We are selecting data from and inserting data into an Oracle database. The database (default) character set is WE8ISO8859P15. By setting the environment variable NLS_LANG to "AMERICAN_AMERICA.AL32UTF8", we can insert strings with non-ASCII characters just fine. However, when we run a SELECT statement and retrieve the data using fetchall_hashref(), the strings remain in ISO-8859-15--we need them to be UTF-8.

Does anyone know of a DBI or DBD::Oracle setting that would cause the strings to be converted?

All systems are SUSE Linux 11 SP4 x64.

Thanks!
