 The actual return value from the C<$sth->execute> call is stored in the
 package-global (and exported) variable C<$sql_exec>.
 If any error occurs C<sql_exec> will throw an exception.
 C<sql_uexec> is similar to C<sql_exec> but upgrades all input arguments to
-utf8 before calling the C<execute> method.
+UTF-8 before calling the C<execute> method.
 Examples:
  # easy one
  my $st = sql_exec "select name, id from table where id = ?", $id;
  my($name, $amount) = sql_fetch "select ...", args...
 ... and it's still quite fast unless you fetch large amounts of data.
 C<sql_ufetch> is similar to C<sql_fetch> but upgrades all input values to
-utf8 and forces all result values to utf8.

+ignores the UTF-8 bit completely. Which just means that that DBD-driver is

 Again (sigh) the problem of persistency. What do you do when you have
 to serialize on object that contains (or should contain) a database
 handle? Short answer: you don't. Long answer: you can embed the necessary
 information to recreate the dbh when needed.
