Looks like the problem is here... the utf8 flag is on, indicating that $edit
is a string of characters, rather than bytes -- but the dumper output seems
to show that these "characters" correspond to UTF-8 encoded bytes, instead of
the actual characters of the data -- meaning that the bytes actually stored
in the string are along the lines of "ab\x{c3}\x{83}\x{c2}\x{a7}"... not
good. Somewhere, your data got the utf8 flag set "by assumption" instead of
by decoding. $edit = decode("UTF-8", $edit) should clear it up, although
finding the original problem is probably a better idea. :)
