It's not clear to me if this is a generic problem or specific to Oracle. It
sounds like a generic problem, but I don't recall anyone reporting similar
problems. It may be that most of us don't have databases with UTF-8 data in
them. If you feel it is a generic problem (applicable to MySQL's UTF-8
support as well, for example), then it's probably worth reporting the problem
to Tony via RT at

http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Dist/Display.html?Name=Class%3A%3ADBI

or by e-mailing <[email protected]>. Feel free to attach your
patch(es) as well if they are. The first thing he'll do is ask for a broken
test case. If you could adapt one of the t/*.t scripts that ship with CDBI to
exhibit the problem, then there's a good chance that Tony will fix it.

If it's specific to Oracle's UTF-8 support, then adding some kind of
workaround to Class::DBI::Oracle might be more appropriate.

Hope this helps,
Ed
