It's difficult for me to tell what's happening, but suggestions follow:
- decide that UTF-8 is going to be your encoding
- read up on the my $decoded = Encode::decode('UTF-8', $encoded) and my $encoded = Encode::encode('UTF-8', $decoded) functions
- encode strings just before they leave your application (just before print, DBI, whatever)
- decode strings as soon as possible (just after read, my $encoded = $cgi->param($name), $sth->fetchrow, whatever)
- make sure your MySQL databases are created with "CREATE DATABAS
