The Windows API has two versions of each function that requires text strings: An "(A)NSI" version and a "(W)ide" version.
The ANSI version expects strings encoded using the Active Code Page. The ACP can be obtained from Win32::ACP(), and am encoding name suitable for Encode::encode and Encode::decode can be obtained from "cp".Win32::ACP(). For Western machines, these are 1252 and cp1252 respectively. (Not latin1 as you said.) This is what Perl's native functions use.
To manipulate any file, you need to use the Wide version. These are made accessible by Win32::Unicode and other modules from the same distro.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
