I'm curious about the answer to this one, esp since the use of UTF8Columns is optional. When I converted Handel from CDBI to DBIC, I prereq went from 5.6.1 to 5.8.1. I'm not terribly concerned about that, but if I could shoehorn my perl req back down to 5.6.1, that might give it a slightly greater install base. Or not. :-) -=Chris
