Hi, I am using Archive::Zip for compressing files. I am struggling to zip a file with the name contain "ÅÄÖ" characters. Actually these characters are converted as some different symbol. Can anyone give any suggestion to zip a file with the name contain the characters "ÅÄÖ"? Thanks in advance.	[reply]

Even if you succeessfully zip those files, you can cause a headache to the person who will try to unzip them (e.g. if that person works on a different OS or under different locale). Been there, seen that.	[reply]
