Hi all, it seems that current Windows ports of Perl can't handle Unicode for arguments (argv), script paths and environment.
A "simple" modification of perl.exe as proposed by A. Sinan Unur: https://www.nu42.com/2017/02/perl-unicode-windows-trilogy-one.html doesn't seem to solve the problems: Perl still can't run scripts with special characters because it uses the ANSI functions, there are strings encoded twice, reading environment variables doesn't use the environment passed by perl.exe etc. All this seems to be a lot of effort, it took many years in Python: https://bugs.python.org/issue1602 Are there any plans to support Unicode in console arguments, environment variables, script names... in Perl?
