Thanks Shaun,

   It's probably because my email was itself encoded as UTF-8 that the 
tail end was stripped. *sigh*. UTF-8 is hard stuff!

   Anywho, I just posted a followup. Drew (from TLUG) is in the same 
office as me, and he helped me mash it all out and now it's okay, 
*finally*! I had to tell DBI (which told perl??) that the data from the 
database was already UTF-8 encoded so that the binmode STDOUT ":utf8" 
didn't double-encode it with the connect option 'pg_enable_utf8 => 1' 
command.

   If only UTF-8 was standard from day 1! Haha, I know...
