This is in reference to Re: Unicode in filenames.

#!perl
use utf8;
use strict;
use diagnostics;

use Win32API::File 0.08 qw(:ALL);
print "$Win32API::File::VERSION\n"; # 0.10

#createFile('abc.txt');        # system cannot find specified file
#createFile('C:/abc.txt');    # system cannot find specified file
#createFile('//?/C:/abc.txt');    # network path was not found

CreateFileW('中文.txt', GENERIC_WRITE, FILE_SHARE_READ, 
+[], CREATE_ALWAYS, FILE_ATTRIBUTE_NORMAL, 0);

print "last err: $^E\n";

Using the three outcommented calls gives me the errors noted in the comments. They are retranslated into English, so they are not 100% properly named.

Using the last call (what is looks like unmolested by PM: CreateFileW('中文.txt', ...) actually creates a file (empty error message), only I expect the filename 中文, but actually get the name 룤螖琮瑸Ā峘ŝ. As before, this is on NTFS in Windows 2000.

Help me, Obi-tye Kenobi! You are my only hope.
