Hi.
I have a database created with -E LATIN1. Inserting norwegian characters lik 
'ø' works perfectly from JDBC, but from Perl, it stores the word 'søker' as 
'søker'(UNICODE).

perl --version:
This is perl, v5.8.3 built for i386-linux-thread-multi
A Mandrake-10 Linux system.

I first had the problem printing out LATIN1 chars to stdout too, but solved 
that by using the pragma
use encoding 'ISO-8859-1';

I've tried:
$dbh->do("set CLIENT_ENCODING TO 'ISO-8859-1'") 
or die("Couldn't set encoding to ISO-8859-1");
but that didn't work.

Any hints anyone?
