Re: File path internationalization

ActiveState Perl Dev Kit 1.9 and ActivePerl 5.8.1 (this cannot be changed as later AS Perl releases have no Tk).

I currently use Perl 5.10, Tk is fine. You have to use ppm to install it - it is available, it just doesn't come as part the default set of stuff. Some simple upgrade is probably not the answer to your language problem, but it is possible if needed for other reasons.

Might want to try getting the "short path name"? For use in opening files, etc? Win32::GetShortPathName($fullpath);. I think there is a much better way to deal with filenames for the languages you list, but can't find it right now.

AFAIK, a 5.10 ppd for Tk is not available for OSX (just like XML::LibXML not being available, but separate issue)--could be wrong, but as you say this is not going to fix my problem, and neither, I suspect, will Win32::Anything because of the platforms I need to support (leaving aside all the mess having conditional evals for other platforms would introduce, if similar features exist), but thanks for the thought.
