Howdy,
We have run into many nightmares at our organization with regards to this. We also use PostgreSQL 8. Although there are other ways of solving the problem, I typically do something as follows:
use Encode qw( _utf8_off _utf8_on from_to );
fix {
my $s = shift;
return undef unless defined $s;
_utf8_off( $s );
from_to( $s, 'cp1250', 'utf8' );
_utf8_on( $s );
return $s;
}
my $nice_string = fix( $ugly_string );
Perhaps this will help!

Sorry this had nothing to do with utf8, but some data
that was formated in CHARSET=windows-1252, that crazy
windows only format.
I found a modules called, "Encode::ZapCP1252" but that
didn't seem to help me. It actually seemed to just
delete all the values it received without changing
anything.
I could run a regex to clean this out but that's
really ugly.
Has anyone run into that and found a more elegant
solution (besides yelling at the people sending me
windows only data?)?
Thanks!
