Re^4: File name issue in Archive::Zip

Thank you for your comments. I have upgraded the latest version of Archive::Zip 1.30(released in 2009) through ppm on my windows machine. But no use.

As i just truncate these swedish character to "_" and also got approval for this, this is not required for me for time-being. But still i am wondering about this issue.

http://cpansearch.perl.org/src/ADAMK/Archive-Zip-1.31_03/README `Archive::Zip Global Variables $Archive::Zip::UNICODE This variable governs how Unicode file and directory names are + added to or extracted from an archive. If set, file and directory na +mes are considered to be UTF-8 encoded. This is EXPERIMENTAL AND +BUGGY (there are some edge cases on Win32). Please report problems. { local $Archive::Zip::UNICODE = 1; $zip->addFile('Déjà vu.txt'); }` [download] It looks like the version CPAN will install is 1.30. If the OP wants to install 1.31_03 will he need to download and use Perl makefile.pl, dmake, dmake test, dmake install? Maybe someone who knows more about cpan knows a way to get the latest by using the cpan prompt. Update: I found out how to install a different version of a cpan module than the one cpan defaults to. From the command prompt type 'cpan' and hit enter. Then from the cpan> prompt type 'install A/AD/ADAMK/Archive-Zip-1.31_03.tar.gz'. This should install the file located at http://cpan.perl.org/authors/id/A/AD/ADAMK/Archive-Zip-1.31_03.tar.gz.	[reply] [d/l]
