RE: Perl and unicode file names

So the problem I have is how to proceed. Should I give up with Perl and
use Java or C? Any suggestions gratefully received.


I started a really 'fun' flame war on this topic several months ago, so I
hesitate to say anything more. But, yes, you should give up on Perl - or run
your script on Linux with a utf-8 locale. On Win32, Perl internals are
converting the filename characters to the system default code page. So, you
are SOL for what you are trying to do.
