perl5 interface and UTF-8 character encoding - Mailing list pgsql-interfaces

Hi,

I have a plaintext file which contains a list of words encoded in UTF-8. 
I plan to use the perl5 interface to read in the list of words and store 
them in PostgreSQL. What should I watch out for when I'm writing my 
script. I'm afraid that perl will read each component/byte of a 
multi-byte character separately and store them as a UTF-8 encoded 
multi-byte character.

Code snippets appreciated.


Yours truly,
Richi Plana
