in reply to Diiference between these two filenames / strings

All characters of string 2 are in Latin1, but some characters in string 1 are beyond codepoint 0xff.

I'm making a guess: your program handles decoding not properly, and so you end up with string 2 encoded as Latin1 and string 1 decoded into Perl's internal format, which – when passed into the world outside the program – accidentally does the correct thing.

This explanation fits the symptoms, but since you did not show any code, we can't be sure.

    Hi Daxim,

    I think your Hint did the trick.

    Following code suggested by another monk seems working fine for me.

    I have checked below code on filenames in diff languages, like Chinese, Japanese, Danish, polish, Spanish and off-course English.

    use Encode;

    $filename = decode_it($filename);

    $filename = encode('UTF-8', $filename); 
    #---------------------------------------

sub decode_it {
  my $s = shift;
  eval {
    $s = decode('UTF-8', $s, 1);
    1;
  } or do {
    $s = decode('latin1', $s, 1);
  };
  return $s;
}

    Thank you. Cheers.
