Hi,

The crux of this question is what is best practice for a catalyst/DBIC 
app to have it fully unicode aware.

We've got:

MySQL with charset defined as UTF8
DBIC with on connect do SET NAMES and SET CHARSET and UTF8Columns
Catalyst::Plugin::Unicode
End actions specify content type as including charset utf8
Then, finally, making sure any files (which include log files and 
fixture files for tests) opened use the utf8 io layer.

Should this be enough?

Thanks,

Richard
