Many thanks to those who assisted in my last posting 'Perl backup of database'. The MySQL db has been successfully migrated to SQLite (with some help from sed). Now I'm working on the web end of it locally. But I'm having issues with utf8 characters in my artist names. I've looked here but found little of use. stackoverflow / exchange is my next option but I thought I'd give you folks a try. Anyone? 'sqlite_unicode => 1' in the connect string doesn't seem to work.
