I am using Win32::OLE to automate Microsoft Word/Excel, and I use utf8 to communicate with the applications themselves. But when I send a UTF-8 string to a routine like
my $filename = "somethinginutf8"; $word->Documents->Open ($filename); this produces an error. A lot of the files and directories that I need to open have Japanese names so it isn't possible for me to avoid the problem by just using ASCII. I've found that sending the unencoded version of the file name works. However, because I want to write a general module which I can release on CPAN, I would prefer to write a general solution where the file name was automatically decoded by Encode into the correct code page for the user. So my question is, how can my Perl program find out what the current code page of the user is? Or, is there a better way to approach the problem, such as a UTF-8 aware version of Open? Thanks for any ideas. _______________________________________________ Perl-Win32-Users mailing list Perl-Win32-Users@listserv.ActiveState.com To unsubscribe: http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/mysubs
