File:find with directory names containing special characters

luvtocode has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

How do I do File::find on a directory with a special character in name without getting can't stat no such directory?

Error message is: Can't stat J:/My Music/FLAC Archive/King Sunny AdΘ/Seven Degrees North: No such file or directory

open ($outfh, '>selection.txt');
find({wanted => sub { wanted($outfh) } },  @selectedDirs);
close $outfh;

~~Add `use encoding 'utf8';` into your program.~~ - I was wrong. Sorry about that.	[reply] [d/l]
