Re^4: IPC::Run3 error

Yeah, "hum." This is exactly what I was hoping to use run3 for, to run cmd.exe /u /c dir $filespec. It seems that, of the myriad ways that one might attempt to get a glob of Unicode filenames in Perl for Windows, approximately 0% of them work.

As I've said twice before, if you show us specifically what is wrong, we'll likely be able to help you fix it.	[reply]

Calling `FindFirstFileW` + `FindNextFile` + `FindClose` (e.g. via FFI::Platypus) works. Aforementioned Win32::LongPath works. Win32::Unicode::Dir works. Changing Perl's Active Code Page to 65001 (by changing its manifest) should make `glob` and `readdir` work.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

As per the linked article "As of Windows Version 1903 (May 2019 Update)". That would be Win10's May 2019 update. WinXP won't cut it.	[reply]
