Bruce Momjian d092524418 > Here's a patch I added against plperl, originally against beta5, now 
> against rc1. It simply checks with GetDatabaseEncoding() if the current
> database is in UTF-8, and if so, sets the UTF-8 flag on the arguments
> that are passed to perl. This means that it isn't necessary to
> utf8::upgrade() every string, as perl has no way of knowing offhand
> that a string is UTF-8 -- but postgres does, because the database
> encoding is specified, so it makes sense to turn the flag on. You
> should also be able to properly manipulate UTF-8 strings now from
> plperl as opposed to plperlu, because otherwise you'd have to use
> encoding 'utf8' which was not allowed. It could also eliminate some
> unexpected bugs if you assume that perl knows the string is unicode.
It

PostgreSQL Database Management System
=====================================
  
This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL
database management system.

PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system
that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including
transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types
and functions.  This distribution also contains C language bindings.

The JDBC, ODBC, C++, Python, and Tcl interfaces have been moved to the
PostgreSQL Projects Web Site at http://gborg.postgresql.org for separate
maintenance.  A Perl DBI/DBD driver is available from CPAN.

See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install
PostgreSQL.  That file also lists supported operating systems and
hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other
software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL
system.  Changes between all PostgreSQL releases are recorded in the
file HISTORY.  Copyright and license information can be found in the
file COPYRIGHT.  A comprehensive documentation set is included in this
distribution; it can be read as described in the installation
instructions.

The latest version of this software may be obtained at
ftp://ftp.postgresql.org/pub/.  For more information look at our web
site located at http://www.postgresql.org/.
