For that purpose, what you need to know is the number of bytes that
you'll be sending to MySQL.  This depends on the characters and how
you're encoding them for communication with MySQL, *not* on how Perl
is representing them internally.  See previous messages about writing
UTF-8-encoded text to a file.
