[Catalyst] UTF-8 strings getting stragely converted to latin1 when coming from MySQL DB

At last I was able to migrate one of my Catalyst application to
DBIC::Schema. However, putting this query in the schema class does no
good for the UTF-8 thing.

How can I be sure it is executed? I tried replacing it with something
invalid such as "set nameddswgs utf8" (which returns an error in
mysqlclient), but I get no error in Catalyst. That's why I ask this
question. ;-)

	Thanks, Michele.
