Yeah, that's probably the problem rtight there :)

Although your MySQL tables and connection is set to UTF8, the  
DBD::mysql driver does not set the utf8 flag on utf8 content.

It's long story why it doesn't. As far as I could figure out,  
DBD::mysql is waiting for a solution in the DBI layer itself...
