Maybe drivers could use something like

	$sth->bind_col( 1, \$foo, { CharSet => ... } );

to indicate that a column is UTF8.

It's a little bit simpler than that, because the charsets other than UTF-8 will "just work". UTF-8 is the only one that perl has a special flag for internally. The rest are just bags 'o' bytes.

Have a look at the documentation of the Encode module for details.
