in reply to Re^2: MD5 non ascii file name
in thread MD5 non ascii file name

ok, so if I adopt UTF-16LE would MD5 be able to handle non-ASCII file object?

Digest and Digest::MD5 can calculate the hash sum of any binary data that you can read in perl.

And on linux this simply works:

$ echo foo > 零一.txt
$ perl -we 'print while <>' 零一.txt
foo

(Intentionally no code tags here because they break non-latin1-chars)

So yes, it's possible, by treating the file names as simple binary data. On Linux, at least ;-).

On top of that, File::Find isn't working on a directory named '零一', either, same problem?!?

"not working" is not an error description. What code fails? with what message?

    I will reduce my code for File::Find to a workable fragment before I post, but here are the error msg:
    Use of uninitialized value $file in print at unicodeTest6.pl line 28.
    Use of uninitialized value $file in -f at unicodeTest6.pl line 29.
    invalid top directory at C:/Perl/lib/File/Find.pm line 593.
