Perl is pushing unicode into th concole. (and that is why it warns) however, on Windows, the default concole box does not know how to handle unicode. So you either need to install a dos box that do know how to display unicode, or figure out which encoding your concole is displaying and encode the text to that before printing. (or just push a layer to stdout using binmode) Shmuel.
