It looks to me like basically everywhere in plperl.c that does newSVpv()
should follow it with
#if PERL_BCDVERSION >= 0x5006000L if (GetDatabaseEncoding() == PG_UTF8) SvUTF8_on(sv);
#endif
whereas currently there are only a couple of places that do that.
I'm tempted to consolidate this into a function on the order of
newSVstring(const char *) or some such. Comments?

Experimentation proved that this was insufficient to fix Vitali's
problem --- the string he's unhappy about is actually a hash key entry,
and there's no documented way to mark the second argument of hv_store()
as being a UTF-8 string. Some digging in the Perl source code found
that since at least Perl 5.8.0, hv_fetch and hv_store recognize a
negative key length as meaning a UTF-8 key (ick!!), so I used that hack.
I am not sure there is any reasonable fix available in Perl 5.6.x.
Attached patch applied to HEAD, but I'm not going to risk back-patching
it without some field testing.

Good question. I took care to ensure that the code strings passed to
Perl are marked as UTF8; perhaps that makes it happen implicitly?
If not, are there any downsides to issuing "use utf8"?

That would be a reason to go to 5.8, as 'use utf8;' is tricky at best in 5.6.

What "use utf8" does is allow the *source* to be in utf8, thus affecting
what's a valid identifier and such. It doesn't affect the data, for
that you need "use encoding 'utf8'".
It's clear whether you actually want to allow people to put utf8
characters directly into their source (especially if the database is
not in utf8 encoding anyway). There is always the \u{xxxx} escape.
The perlunicode man page describe it better, though I only have
perl5.8. In know the perl5.6 model was different and somewhat more
awkward to use.
Have a nice day,
