I would assume that you did not only upgrade DBD::mysql, but another component as well, be it MySQL or Perl. In that case I would look for the reason in the other components: The driver does not do any encoding related things. If you still think you have reason to believe that the driver does something wrong, please post a small example script, that creates a table, inserts data and fetches the same data to show that somethings wrong.
