Re: Win32 Unicode filenames: how to get their size ?

readdir should never return unicode filenames. See "Unicode in Filenames" in perltodo.

update: actually, it depends on your version of perl. Consult your perls perltodo. I'm not sure if it did in perl 5.8.0.

Also, checkout http://search.cpan.org/~tyemq/Win32API-File-0.08/File.pm, http://search.cpan.org/~arich/Win32-DirSize-1.12/Win32/DirSize/DirSize.pm

I run a Win32 PPM repository for perl 5.6.x and 5.8.x -- I take requests (README).

Argh ! Thanks for the info & pointers. I'm building a damn slow way involving Win32::OLE & WMI, as I can force Win32::OLE to work in UTF8., WMI, albeit slow, and outright not responding for a directory with ~100000 subdirs, gives me all the info I need. -- Olivier	[reply]
