| Subject: | garbled characters in Tk |
I load data from Tk widget into DBD::CSV and then back to the widget. Characters over \x100 are garbled when retrieved from db. Characters in widgets over \x100 not manipulated by db (Tk labels) are correct. A script uses encoding 'utf-8' pragma. Running a script without packing doesn't exhibit this problem.
test.pl included
PAR 0.87, perl 5.8.6, Windows XP
DBI 1.47, DBD::CSV 0.21
