I need to spawn a process that is an ads stream on multiple languages like german, japanese with unicode name. The exe that needs to be spawned have german and/or japanese chars. I was using Win32::OLE to run it. It works fine on xp, but on vista it works fine for regular file, but not for ADS (alternate data streams) file. System command or Win32::Process::Create does not work with unicode chars. Here is my sample code, the exe name is read from an xml file.

use XML::Simple;
use Win32::OLE qw(in);
Win32::OLE->Option(CP => Win32::OLE::CP_UTF8);
my $config = XMLin("C:\\Config.xml");
my $pso = Win32::OLE->new("Wscript.Shell");
my $err = $pso->run($config->{cmdLine},1,1);

Is there a workaround for this issue? I would really appreciate any help.
