That did take care of the encoding error tho I don't understand why because I thought Perl was natively UTF-8. Anyway it works.
But now when I try to use that value to update a record like so: my $sth = $dbh->prepare("update userinfo set description=? where uid=$
+uid");
$sth->execute(encode('UTF-8',$userdata->[$i]->{description})) || die $
+sth->errstr;
I get DBD::PgPP::st execute failed: ERROR: array value must start with "{" or dimension information at character 33 This is confusing as the string is En démocratie, on a le droit d'avoir tort and character 33 is either an "a" or a "v" depending on whether it's counting form zero.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
