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. =Ed Batutis [EMAIL PROTECTED]
