I included the CHCP command in my post because the active code page matters. It governs what is displayed and, in the case of code page 65001, even how commands work (or don't work).

Here's as faithful as possible on PerlMonks a representation of exactly what I see on my screen as I type these commands at the Windows Command Prompt:

D:\>chcp 1252
Active code page: 1252

D:\>dir acentó.dat /b
acentó.dat

D:\>perl test.pl acentó.dat
Successfully opened file 'acentó.dat'

D:\>chcp 437
Active code page: 437

D:\>perl test.pl acentó.dat

[download]
Successfully opened file 'acent≤.dat'
D:\>chcp 850
Active code page: 850

D:\>perl test.pl acentó.dat
Successfully opened file 'acent¾.dat'

D:\>chcp 65001
Active code page: 65001

D:\>perl test.pl acentó.dat
Successfully opened file 'acent.dat'


D:\>type test.pl
#!perl

use strict;
use warnings;

my $fn = shift @ARGV;

if (open my $fh, '<', $fn) {
    print "Successfully opened file '$fn'\n";
    close $fh;
}
else {
    print "Error opening file '$fn': $!\n";
}

(Sorry, I can't follow your session log because there are too many things going on in it at once. It's too dense and complicated.)
