SELECT d02name::bytea FROM ... && DBI::Pg

Hello,

I can SELECT && print a column in hex with:

pos71=# select d02name::bytea from d02ben where d02bnr = '00001048313' ;
...
 \x50c3a46461676f67697363686520486f6368736368756c65205765696e67617274656e2020 ...

but when I use the same in Perl DBI::Pg with:

...
$sth=$dbh->prepare( "select d02name::bytea from d02ben where d02bnr = '00001048313'");

$sth->execute or die "exec error\n".${DBI::errstr}."\n";

while ( (@row = $sth->fetchrow_array) )  {
   print "$row[0]\n";
}

It prints the UTF-8 string and not the hex string:

./utf8-01.pl                                                  
DBI is version 1.642, DBD::Pg is version 3.8.0
client_encoding=UTF8, server_encoding=UTF8

I checked with strace that the PG server delivers to DBI:Pg the
hex string, so it must be converted somewhere (or in print ...) again to
UTF-8. See below.

Any ideas?
