in thread Encodings problem

i have never used a perl moule in the past and calls to it

Yes you have, and it's not that complicated, and get used to it. It's called "learning how to use a programming language to get things done".

i dont like the idea of us programmers do an extra work to tell the WinXP OS how to treat our filenames and contents.

Yeah, it would be swell if us programmers didn't have to do any extra work... we could spend more time outdoors. Oh well, get used to it.

What i have in my head is to find an OS option (maybe a registry option) that will tell stupid windows to actully treat the filenames in the same manner as it treats the file contents.

Sounds nice, good luck with that.

    I must thank you for you time and effort to help me though, i appreciate it but i just refuse to do all those extra things which you say(and iam sure they will work) to do soemthing the OS would *have to do* by default. I hope someone here knows how to change this option/registry setting or whatever.
