Hello.
Attached patch fix problems for users of perl5.8.x and strings with UTF8
flag enabled.
In general case current code shouldn't give user big problems(it just
doesn't copy UTF8 flag on new string), but perl(5.8.{0..4}) has small
bug in 'sassign' op code and perl doesn't drop magic from strings in
next code:
$utf_str = $dbh->quote( $utf_str );
under some conditions(I can't figure them out) $utf_str can be currupted
in future use.
This patch works as workaround for perl bug and also fix logic of mysql
quote sub which should copy UTF8 flag if it is set on src str.
Best regards. Ruslan.
PS. PERL_VERSION check should be changed to right values, I don't know
when UTF8 flag was introduced.
