in thread Best Way to Get Length of UTF-8 String in Bytes?

Amazing! Thank you, thank you, thank you, Tom!

It's a lot for me to assimilate with my limited intellect and meager Perl skills, but I will certainly try.

My real objective—as awful as it sounds—is to split arbitrarily long UTF-8 strings into chunks of 32,767-byte substrings and distribute them into a series of VARCHAR columns. It's horrible, I know, but if I don't do it, another Ivfhny Onfvp .ARG programmer will—and much more badly than I.
