Thank you!

I still like to use getOpenFile, as it offers a fine TK funtionality to select files in Windows. I changed my subrutine a little bit adding Win32::GetShortPathName() as you suggested. It works fine now. Here is the new script:

sub convert_ansi_to_utf {

my $types = [ ['Text', '.txt'],
              ['All Files',   '*'],];
my $filename= $frame_kwic_setup->getOpenFile(-filetypes => $types);

use Win32;
my $shortpath = Win32::GetShortPathName( "$filename" );
    open(F, "<:encoding(iso-8859-1)", "$shortpath") or die $!;
    open(G, ">:utf8", "$shortpath.utf.txt") or die $!;
    while (<F>) { print G }
close (F);
close (G);

}
