So you are saying that if I change

        $var = decode("utf8",$row->{ATT_BOOKING_COMMENT_TXT}) ;

to

        $var = decode("utf8",$row->{ATT_BOOKING_COMMENT_TXT}) ;
        utf8::upgrade($var );

it will be more resilient and cater for more cases than just the decode
option.

Yes.

And you also agree that I need to do this to use the Perl string functions?

Yes.

I think confusion arises because sometimes everything works without 
doing any of this - but that's just a chance coincidence of system 
settings + data formats, or everything your code ever touches is ASCII.
