Re^2: A UTF8 round trip with MySQL

[clinton]

$data = fetch;
$data = decode_utf8 $data;

The bit you're missing here is deciding which data to decode, because of course you need to handle text and binary data differently. The latest DBD::mysql drivers handle this automatically.

Well, since I don't deal with binary data right now, I didn't think about that part :) Ok, I'll check the new interface, but I want to stay compatible with old versions too...
