perl 字符和字节 表示utf8

[oracle@oadb sbin]$ cat insertdb.pl 
use DBI;    
use Encode;
use HTTP::Date qw(time2iso str2time time2iso time2isoz);  
use Net::SMTP;
my $a="老干妈";
  # $a=encode_utf8($a);
print length($a);
print "\n";
print $a;



my $dbName = 'oadb';    
my $dbUser = 'query';    
my $dbUserPass = 'kjk7787czcb';    
my $dbh = DBI->connect("dbi:Oracle:$dbName", $dbUser, $dbUserPass) or die "can't connect to database ";  
   $dbh->do("insert into tlcb values('$a')");

老干妈[oracle@oadb sbin]$ 

这里是字节长度

[oracle@oadb sbin]$ cat insertdb.pl 
use DBI;    
use Encode;
use HTTP::Date qw(time2iso str2time time2iso time2isoz);  
use Net::SMTP;
my $a="老干妈";
   $a=decode_utf8($a);
print length($a);
print "\n";
print $a;



my $dbName = 'oadb';    
my $dbUser = 'query';    
my $dbUserPass = 'kjk7787czcb';    
my $dbh = DBI->connect("dbi:Oracle:$dbName", $dbUser, $dbUserPass) or die "can't connect to database ";  
   $dbh->do("insert into tlcb values('$a')");
