[Info-ingres] Issue with characters being inserted as garbabge

[nikosv]

I'm sending a soap XML message to an Apache server which runs a Perl CGI script which in turn acts as the soap server.

The script interacts with Ingres, reading and inserting data.Perl and Ingres are tuned to understand iso8859/7 Greek.

While I can retrieve correct Greek from the database,when I attempt to insert data and retrieve it back I get garbage .Even running the script locally at the machine that hosts Apache the same happens.

For example for Greek character A I get a sequence of Γ\201 .I don't know what that means.In other cases I get some other weird characters.

The thing is that in a previous installation on another machine everything worked out of the box,so I'm wondering whether there is something wrong with the configuration.

It would be of great help in deciphering it if anyone could understand why Ingres uses that sequence of characters described above.

Thanks
