I'm thinking in terms of something like $sth->{SetUTF8}->[$index] = $mode

(with a way to set it via bind_col as well)
And perhaps a $dbh->{SetUTF8} = $mode; to provide a default.
Umm, it's just dawned on me that the persistance of the utf8 flag across sv_set functions means I could implement all but "1" in DBI v1. (Option "1" requires looking at the value that's just been set and that not simple/efficient for DBI v1.)
Hey, I just ran into a situation where I could really use this.

Tim, do you think this might make it into the next release of DBI v1? I'd especially like to do
$dbh->{SetUTF8} = 2;And be done with it.
Cheers,
David
PS: I assume that if I do:
my $data = $utf8_data;
where $utf8_data has SvUTF8_on that $data will also have SvUTF8_on. Is that correct?
