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;
}
