in thread Malformed UTF-8 character error after fetching data from Postgresql

That is interesting, and I found another phrase in the DBD::Pg docs that sounds like I was mistaken:

pg_enable_utf8 (integer)

DBD::Pg specific attribute. The behavior of DBD::Pg with regards to this flag has changed as of version 3.0.0. ...

"Note that the value of client_encoding is only checked on connection time. If you change the client_encoding to/from 'UTF8' after connecting, you can set pg_enable_utf8 to -1 to force DBD::Pg to read in the new client_encoding and act accordingly."
