Garbage data while inserting data with special characters in SQL Server 2012 using Perl

Question

I have an XML file with data in multiple languages (eg. - Russian, Japanese, Chinese, English). This XML is created on Linux platform and it has passed xmllint checks.

Now, I am reading this data from XML file and inserting into SQL Server 2012 on Windows 7 platform (XML also present on Windows). But I am getting ???? as a value in fields. This is happening for some of the cases like all the sentence in other language.

But, if any sentence having some special characters it's working fine.

I am using function

$row_value = decode("utf-8",$row_value);

Answer 1

use Encode;
require Encode::Detect;
my $utf8 = decode("Detect", $data);

Try this for decode data...
