Yea Tom, that be exactly the issue.

Guess I just don't get it, Why such a simple thing is so difficult.

Decode the input, Encode the output, read perlunitut: Unicode in Perl#I/O flow (the actual 5 minute tutorial) and learn about your shell

$ echo >  "da-MötleyCrüe"

da-MötleyCrüe

$ dir /b "da-*" | perl -MData::Dump -e " dd[<>] "

Single byte encoding can be hard to guess 

$ perl -MEncode::Detective=detect -le " die detect( glob q/da-*/ ) "
windows-1252 at -e line 1.

$ perl -MEncode::Guess -e " die guess_encoding( glob q/da-*/ ) "
No appropriate encodings found! at -e line 1.

$ dir /b "da-*" | perl -MEncode::Detective=detect -e " $f = <>; die de
+tect($f ) "

$ dir /b "da-*" | perl -MEncode::Guess -e " $f = <>; die guess_encodin

But once you know, just binmode
$ perl -le " print for glob q/da-*/ "
da-M÷tleyCrⁿe

$ perl -le " binmode STDOUT , q/:encoding(cp437)/; print for glob q/da-*/ "
da-MötleyCrüe

$ perl -Mopen=:std,encoding(cp437) -le " print for glob q/da-*/ "
da-MötleyCrüe

$ perl -MEncode::Locale -le " binmode STDOUT, q{encoding(console_out)}; print for glob q/da-*/ "
da-MötleyCrüe
