Actually, looking closer, I think your friend is right. If I tell Firefox to interpret the page as "Greek ISO-8859-7" then the select box looks a lot like a list of Greek words. I can't read Greek so it's hard to know for sure!

Try using something like Unicode::Map8 (old-school) or Encode (new-school) to go from ISO-8859-7 to UTF-8.

    Is there a way to convert to utf-8 all my greek .txt filenames? a utility perhaps?

      Yes - I already pointed out two modules you can use: Unicode::Map8 and Encode. I'd use Unicode::Map8 personally, since I've used it before. Encode is newer and I've heard people say it's better, but I've never used it myself.

      Give it a try after reading the documentation. If you run into trouble post a new question about it here.
