in reply to Problem with SOAP::Lite and accented characters.
In your simple case, unless you have
use utf8;
in your script, the joé is not being interpreted as UTF8. You may want to try:
$ref->{data}->firstname="jo\x{e9}";
to be sure that it is interpreted correctly.
When I retrieve UTF8 from MySQL, I do:
utf8::decode($value)
to make sure that it is correctly interpreted as UTF8
