in reply to open sqilite path unicode

Are there any error messages you can provide? What are the contents of $shortpath? Is the content from getOpenFile processed correctly from unicode to perl-internal? Just some areas to look at.

    Hi MidLife

    Error: DBI connect('C:/incriminated path with strange characters/DATABASE.db','',...) failed: unable to open database at mymodule.pm line xy

    $shortpath was just a way to try to have a path working. Just skip that one and use $file

    " Is the content from getOpenFile processed correctly from unicode to perl-internal" this I really do not know, sorry
