Right. I found a hack on https://perldoc.perl.org/perlunicode ( which you directed me to ) that appears to have fixed *this* particular issue ( though it's not clear what I've then broken as a result ) Calling:
Encode::_utf8_on($_) ... for every value just prior to being pushed into the model appears to work. Yay :) Thanks!
