PostgreSQL driver DBD::Pg releases version 3.0.0

Hi

'Major change in UTF-8 handling' is right. I was:

o Declaring the Pg db as utf8

o Encoding outgoing data
Eg: map{($_ => encode('utf-8', $$hashref{$_}) )} keys %$hashref

o Decoding incoming data
$$item{$_} = decode('utf-8', $$item{$_} || '') for keys %$item

o Using <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; 
charset=utf-8" /> on my web page

And each module tested under V 3.0.0 broke.

But a 1-line change fixes them:

$$attr{pg_enable_utf8}    = 0 if ($$config{dsn} =~ /dbi:Pg/i);

Gotta love utf8.
