[Catalyst] unicode best practices

[Daniel McBrearty]

other stuff I've found:

http://search.cpan.org/~bricas/DBIx-Class-0.07003/lib/DBIx/Class/UTF8Columns.pm
- utf8 text fields in the db are automatically flagged as such when retrieved

I also found once I started using the above, I needed to install

http://search.cpan.org/~lyokato/Catalyst-View-TT-ForceUTF8-0.06/lib/Catalyst/View/TT/ForceUTF8.pm

to avoid garbled output.

There is also somewhere a module which causes stash to be flagged
utf8, but I haven't needed it. Yet ...
