[HELP!] perl and unicode are not working

Question

I have a database that I know supports Unicode, I'm trying to read/write data using perl and I'm pulling my hair out! I have a table populated with some Unicode characters that I inserted using TOAD and this sql statement:
insert into jay_test values (-101, 'Τη γλώσσα μου έδωσ');
When I look at the data in TOAD everything looks great, when I read the data out using .NET it works great, when I read it out using PERL the result if a bunch of question marks.
Here is the code:
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
<%
use utf8;
use DBD::Oracle;
$Response->AddHeader("Content-Type","text/html; charset=utf-8;");
my $dbh2 = DBI->connect($db, $user, $password, {AutoCommit => 1});
my $x = $dbh2->ora_can_unicode();
my $sth = $dbh2->prepare("SELECT i, j from jay_test order by i desc");
$sth->execute();
while (my ($i, $j) = $sth->fetchrow_array()) {
     debug("i = $i, j = $j");
     $html .= qq{
          <tr>
               <td>$i</td>
               <td>$j</td>
          </tr>
The result is this:
-101      ?? ?????? ??? ????
As a note: the line "$dbh2->ora_can_unicode();" returns a value of 3, which means that Unicode should be fully supported.
Anyone who can point me in the right direction will be my savior! Thanks in advance

The OS is Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.4 (Tikanga)
The Kernel is 2.6.18
Database is 10g
Toad is 10.1.1.8
Here are the parameters that PERL is seeing:
my $params = $dbh2->ora_nls_parameters();
print_r($params); return;
[Hash] {
     NLS_CALENDAR => GREGORIAN
     NLS_CHARACTERSET => AL32UTF8
     NLS_COMP => BINARY
     NLS_CURRENCY => $
     NLS_DATE_FORMAT => DD-MON-RR
     NLS_DATE_LANGUAGE => AMERICAN
     NLS_DUAL_CURRENCY => $
     NLS_ISO_CURRENCY => AMERICA
     NLS_LANGUAGE => AMERICAN
     NLS_LENGTH_SEMANTICS => BYTE
     NLS_NCHAR_CHARACTERSET => AL16UTF16
     NLS_NCHAR_CONV_EXCP => FALSE
     NLS_NUMERIC_CHARACTERS => .,
     NLS_SORT => BINARY
     NLS_TERRITORY => AMERICA
     NLS_TIMESTAMP_FORMAT => DD-MON-RR HH.MI.SSXFF AM
     NLS_TIMESTAMP_TZ_FORMAT => DD-MON-RR HH.MI.SSXFF AM TZR
     NLS_TIME_FORMAT => HH.MI.SSXFF AM
     NLS_TIME_TZ_FORMAT => HH.MI.SSXFF AM TZR
Do i need to issue a PERL command to change one of these NLS params?
I appreciate the help everyone, this issue is killing me!
