International chars in Oracle DB using Perl DBI

Hello,

I'm not sure if this is the right newsgroup for my problem, but here it is:

I'm fetching data from an Oracle DB via the DBI interface. When I fetch data with international characters such as å, ä and ö they turn up as question marks. This doesn't happen just in the web browser but also directly in the terminal window (on the Unix server on which I run Perl).

Does anyone know of how to get international characters (in my case ISO-8859-1 extended chars) to get printed correctly?

Regards
