Try this:

__PACKAGE__->config(
    schema_class => 'MyApp::FooSchema',
    connect_info => [
        'your_dsn',
        'username',
        'password',
        {
            mysql_enable_utf8   => 1,
            on_connect_do       => [
                "SET NAMES 'utf8'",
                "SET CHARACTER SET 'utf8'",
            ],
        }
    ],
);
