Venerable sirs!

The result written into the database table by this script below is unreadable. Eg: "Asistente de Dirección" = "Asistente de Dirección"

But if i write the resluts into a text file it is readable. Where have i gone wrong? (Ignore the functions load and Adump)

#use lib '/Perl/site/lib/myModules';s
use myModules::initHTTP qw(:all);
use DBI;
