Yes, see above where I mentioned SvPVutf8() and sv_utf8_upgrade(). These don't seem to work. Perhaps "Perl Unicode" and "UTF8" are not the same thing as a "Wide String" as refered to by the Win32 API?

Update:

Here's an example of what I'm doing:

// Nodename is SV* holding "examplenode"
printf("Nodename=[%s]\n", SvPV_nolen(Nodename)); // output: "Nodename=
+[examplenode]"

sv_utf8_upgrade(Nodename);

wprintf(L"Got [%s]\n", (wchar_t*)SvPVutf8_nolen(Nodename)); // output:
+ "Nodename=[]"

Am I doing something wrong? The string seems to get clobbered, or it's in a format that Windows won't accept as a "wide string".
