As I know, perl handle string with unicode. So you needn't decode( )
when you retrieve data from database with UTF

Doesn't that just say your source code is encoded in utf8?  And also
that STDIN and STDOUT use that layer?

Also, the CAVEATS suggest it's not wise to use in modules due to that
lack of scoping.

Doesn't there still need to be a decode() or layer set some place when
moving the
utf8 data into perl?
