Thanks, I've finished reading this and good solution, perfectly backwards compatible and, once again not counting UTF-8 flag bug, almost same as were provided with -C is mentioned in that thread several times: use only UTF-8 in arguments. As long as OS provides calls that understnad Unicode - use them (converting to system's Unicode representation, of course), otherwise fall back to current behavior and let user deal with this problem. Systems that do not support reliable environment (fs/locale/etc) independent working Unicode calls will remain broken in exactly same way as they are now (and if programmers use some workarounds in their Perl programs they will continue to work in exactly same way) and OSes that do support Unicode will get functionality they deserve. It is the way it works for many other features that are in core, but unavailable on some systems and it is how it must work with Unicode in file names. -- Oleg "Rowaa[SR13]" V. Volkov
