Thanks for the pointers monks... I'll report back here with any findings.

Win32::File is for getting file attributes.... Compressed, hidden, read-only, etc... http://www.xav.com/perl/site/lib/Win32/File.html

The other thought is just to use system commands to handle the globbing. Basically, if both file and directory tests fail, we do a system("mv $path$item $path$fixed_item_name") where I've made the fixed item name just not include the "?". Then I can at least find and manipulate the file.
