Hello (loved your PostgreSQL presentation at the most recent OSCON, BTW)
Which editor do you use? When loading the script in Komodo IDE 5.2 the string
looks broken. Running the script (ActivePerl 5.10.1 on Windows) only the second
line is correct - the first (no surprise) and third are broken.

would do that for me, but in this case apparently not. Anyone got an
example?

So the UTF8 flag is enabled, and yet it has \303\204\302\215 in it. What is
that crap?
That's octal notation, which I think Dump() uses for any byte greater than 127
and for control characters, so that it can output pure ASCII.
