Hi Gerald! This is the dump from $clientname which is 'GD Löw':
SV = PV(0x92f6c90) at 0xaa0d51c
REFCNT = 1
FLAGS = (POK,pPOK,UTF8)
PV = 0xa747270 "GD L\303\266w"\0 [UTF8 "GD L\x{f6}w"]
CUR = 7
LEN = 8
Seems that DBI is setting the UTF8 flag right with Oracle.
So it *should* be right?!
The generated link is:
https://nac.mon.dsh.at/add-record.epl?table=raduser&subtable=radservice_pop&defval_fk_radaccesstype=5&defval_fk_division=140&defval_clientname=GD%20L%C3%B6w&defval_zip=&defval_city=Wien&defval_street=&defval_phone=&ignore=fk_radaccesstype
Is the link encoded ok? '%C3%B6' for the 'ö' (umlaut o).
-Alex

Since 2.1 Embperl honours Perl's UTF-8 Flag (see
http://perl.apache.org/embperl/pod/doc/Embperl.-page-12-.htm)
So in case your variables has the UTF-8 Flag set and it isn't UTF-8
something might go wrong.
You can check if your variable has the UTF-8 set with the module
Devel::Peek.
You can turn the UTF-8 flag on and off with Encode::_utf8_on/off, but you
should know what your are doing to not create more confusion.
If this all seems to be correct, it would be great if you can create a small
example which reproduces the error
