in thread Malformed UTF-8 character error after fetching data from Postgresql
10x.
That seems to be the problem. When I connect to my database the client encoding is UTF8, and by default DBD::Pg set the internal Perl UTF8 flag to true. This cause problems when I change the client encoding after connecting. Perl is asuming that my fetched data should be stored as UTF8 and this is not working. When I set pg_enable_utf8 to 0 everything is fine.
Better solution is to set the pg_enable_utf8 flag to -1 after changing the client_encoding as suggested in the DBD::Pg documentation.
