DBD::Oracle and Perl's internal representation of strings

Hi,

I just posted this question on Perl Monks:

http://perlmonks.com/?node_id=649489

Am I correct in my analysis of what's going?

I would be happy if I could pass strings to DBD::Oracle without having
to worry about Perl's internal representation of the string, and it would
be ok if an exception was thrown whenever a string contained a character > 255.

Is there a way to configure DBD::Oracle to do that?

Thanks,
ER
