Thanks to all who have replied thus far. Rose::DB looks good, but I have 
still a lot to learn in term of classes and subclasses in Perl, and I 
guess I'll stick with Class::DBI for the time being.

My script now begins with:

use Class::DBI;
package ILKB::DBI;
use base 'Class::DBI';
ILKB::DBI->connection("dbi:mysql:$db",'$usr','$pwd');
ILKB::DBI->db_Main->do("set names utf8");

I haven't tried inserts and updates yet, but retrieval of data now works 
fine and delivers wonderful utf8 characters! Hopefully inserts and 
updates work as well, though I don't see any reason why they shouldn't.

Thanks again,

best,

Birgit Kellner
