Hi,

Mmm.. its almost like its being double encoded... Here is an example: 

       print "GOT TITLE BEFORE: $title \n<Br><Br>";

       $title = encode("utf-8",$title);

       print "GOT TITLE: $title \n<Br><Br>";

       $DB->table("ReadingGrabCache")->add( { title => $title, url => 
+"Foo" });

       my $test = $DB->table("ReadingGrabCache")->select ( { url => "F
+oo" })->fetchrow_hashref;

       print "BLA 1: $test->{title} \n<br>";

...which gives me:

GOT TITLE BEFORE: Румыния не будет участвовать в Евровидении-2016 из-за денег - Газета.Ru

GOT TITLE: ƒм‹ния не бƒде‚ ƒ‡ас‚вова‚Œ в «•в€овидении-2016» из-за денег - “азе‚а.Ru

BLA 1: ƒм‹ния не бƒде‚ ƒ‡ас‚вова‚Œ в «•в€овидении-2016» из-за денег - “азе‚а.Ru

After grabbing it back from the DB, if I do this:

$test->{title} = decode("utf-8",$title);

...then it works! But it seems bonkers to have to do that, when it should be in utf8 already. Is there a way to "check" if a string has the correct utf8 markers?

Thanks!

Andy
