You must take into account, that Perl as a console application
uses OEM character coding when working with directory and file names.
If you pass such names for example to Tk - you have serious problem,
because Tk works with ANSI character coding only.
( I had this problem in Windows NT with Czech characters)
One way to solve this is to use WPERL.EXE
(uses ANSI coding and has no console window)
instead of PERL.EXE (uses OEM coding and has console window).
