Using Archive::Zip or Archive::Extract, the files of the zip file come out with changed characters (on Windows, tried with Cygwin and get the same results). For example, if I zip the files "CREATIVE SERVICES .txt" and "LACOURSIčRE.txt" using Winzip, I can unzip them properly using Winzip. But if I run my zip file through this: 
use Archive::Extract;

my $ae = Archive::Extract->new( archive => 'example.zip' );
my $ok = $ae->extract;

[download]
The files come out as "CREATIVE SERVICES˙.txt" and "LACOURSIŠRE.txt". Doing some research, it seems the issue might not be Perl related per se and could have something to do with the character set used by Perl. Not sure if this is the same as the command prompt one. Does anyone know what I should do in order to get the files extracted with the proper name? Thanks!
