Maybe this is not the right place to post this so forgive me.
I installed the Win::Gui 1.0 , so i made some programs with it and it works fine.

But i wanted to make some labels with Greek letters and it prints those chinese leters who nobody understands.
You know what i'm talking about, those !@#$%^&*().

When i program with perl i can print Greek letters, but when i use WIN32::Gui i can not, not in a label, not in a button text, not nowhere.
Not even when i try to create a button that when you press it, it trigers a sub that finds a path like c:\documents and settings\pengo\local settings\temp\a filename in greek letters.txt

when i put english letters it works fine, when i dont use win32::gui and i just make something like

print "something in greek letters \n";

it works fine.

Is there something i have to do to make it work, or is it something with the win32::gui module that i should know ( like it is not made for understanding and printing greek letters or something)?

I tryed using modules like Encode::Unicode, or utf8 and others, but nothing happend.

I really have to make this work, otherwise i have to do it in visual basic which i don't like .

You see i love perl but that module let me down.

Any help will be appreciated.
