Are there any plans to introduce UTF-8 support to DBD::mysql? At the moment, when I retrieve UTF-8 data from MySQL, it doesn't have the UTF-8 flag set on the returned string. This means that I have to litter my code with calls to Encode::decode_utf8(). Ideally, I'm looking for something like PostgreSQL's pg_enable_utf8 flag: http://search.cpan.org/~dbdpg/DBD-Pg-1.44/Pg.pm#pg_enable_utf8 If it's agreed that the functionality is desired, I'm happy to create a patch based on the PostgreSQL support.
