Well, thats the tricky part

You can get not 8.3 using Win32::GetANSIPathName()/Win32::GetLongPathName() or using Win32::Unicode::Dir

Now what you'll get will not be raw bytes ... so changing them from whatever they are into whatever you want them to be will be tricky

Getting the real names from the source tarball is the easiest option
