Yah, except that as far as I can tell, DBI doesn't do the right thing 
with utf-8 either, and in the places I can find discussion, they all 
just punt to the DBD::* drivers, which is unhelpful from my point of 
view - I'd like to just put utf-8 strings into objects and have them 
stored.

Suppose that I wished to hook Class::DBI just above the database so 
that I can run encode/decode immediately after I get results from the 
database, and immediately before inserting. The perldoc page doesn't 
suggest a good place I can stick code - any pointers?
