Hi,

Looks like the -X EXPR functions do not use the right representation of the utf8 octets

Try this tiny test script and you will see.

(However, I do not really like this -d decode_u8($dir_without_codes) statement, but it works on Windows)

use strict;
use warnings;

use utf8;
use feature 'unicode_strings';
use charnames ':full';


use Test::More tests => 8;

my $dir_with_codes = "documenta\x{00E7}\x{00E3}o";
my $dir_without_codes = "documentação";
my $intrnl_with_codes = "documenta\347\343o";

print "looking for directory (dir_without_codes): $dir_without_codes\n
+";

ok (-d $dir_with_codes, "With codes (1)");
ok (-d $dir_without_codes, "Without codes (2)");   ### <--- Not OK
ok (-d decode_u8($dir_without_codes), "Without codes (3)"); 

### Or you can do:
my $new_dir_without_codes = $dir_without_codes;
my $success = utf8::decode($new_dir_without_codes);
ok (-d $new_dir_without_codes, "Without codes (4)");


my ($globbed) = <docu*>;
is ($globbed, $dir_with_codes, "Glob matches with codes (5)");
is ($globbed, $dir_without_codes, "Glob matches without codes (6)");
is ($globbed, decode_u8($dir_without_codes), "Glob matches without cod
+es (7)");

ok (-e decode_u8($dir_without_codes), "Without codes (8)"); 

sub encode_u8 { my $s = shift; utf8::encode($s); $s };
sub decode_u8 { my $s = shift; utf8::decode($s); $s };
