WHen GetDatabaseEncoding() != PG_UTF8 case, ret will not be equal to
utf8_str, so pg_verify_mbstr_len() will not get called. That's the
reason, pg_verify_mbstr_len() is under the ( ret == utf8_str )
condition.

I could not find any basic pl/perl tests in the regression
serial_schedule. I am not sure if we want to add just this scenario
without any basic tests for pl/perl ?
