My pb is that I have an oracle database with datas encoded in iso-latin15 and when I use DBI::Oracle to retreive them, they are encoded in ascii or some primitive encoding, (without accents, and so). I read in the documentation that it's up to the driver to correctly encode the datas, presumably depending on the locales. So I've changed the localces, but DBI::Oracle doeasn't seem to care about it. I conclude then that is should exist some encoding variable to set in the DBI::Oracle, but I don't now where. Maybe anybody knows DBI::Oracle well to answer this? thanks a lot -- dams
