Public bug reported:

I am working with Perl, DBD:ODBC and the MS-SQL ODBC driver to write
some scripts making queries on a MS-SQL database. I had a lot of issues
with character sets, and after spending a lot of time to find the issue,
I finally found that the Ubuntu package of the cpan module is not
compiled with unicode support.

https://metacpan.org/pod/DBD::ODBC#odbc_has_unicode

When I removed the ubuntu package and installed from CPAN the module
with unicode support enabled, my script worked correctly without any
charset issues.

Would it be possible to configure the Ubuntu package with unicode
support by default?
