in thread French Accent in Windows Registry

Add such a key via some std GUI registry tool and then see what Win32::TieRegistry returns for it. If you only get some 7-bit value, then try adjusting your "Regional and Language Options". I wasn't able to find very clear documentation on how the *A APIs transform values to/from Windows "UNICODE", but the implication seemed to be that the configured language determined how things are mapped. If, instead, only 7-bit characters can be used, then you'll need to use the *W calls from Win32API::Registry.

    Win32::TieRegistry accepts 8-bit strings, as I managed to insert russian word into registry. Win32::Tieregistry accepted it in the 'default' system encoding (cp1251 for me). I am almost sure that the default encoding is implicitly set by selecting locale in Regional options.
