I posted this on StackOverflow, but the answer wasnt particularly helpful (as in it didn't solve my problem) The zip file I have has a non-ascii character in it. It can be downloaded here, and the file is in "test_data" https://github.com/log2timeline/dfvfs/archive/master.zip It looks like an i but it isnt. When I try unzip it with the perl code below it changes the i to an A-like character. The code is: 
use Archive::Zip qw( :ERROR_CODES );
my $testsArchive = "master.zip";
my $testsDirectory = "master/";
my $zip = Archive::Zip->new();
die 'read error' unless ( $zip->read( $testsArchive ) == AZ_OK );
$zip->extractTree( '', $testsDirectory );

I'm using version 1.57 of the zip library, on win7, perl 5.22.1. If I run the same code on OS X it works file, so it has something to do with the charset encoding on Windows, but I'm at a loss how to fix it. The suggestion was to use "$Archive::Zip::UNICODE", however I haven't had any success with that. I've tried changing the codepage using a system call, but that didn't work either. Thanks in advance!
