A question for Windows experts.I have installed a wxPerl application and associated it with files with extension '.cho'. When I doubleclick in the Explorer on such a file, my program is started and gets the name of the file passed via @ARGV. Well, more or less... I have a folder (on an NTFS filesystem) with three files: asciiname.cho namewitháccent.cho namewith♡unicode.cho From within the program, I can open the file if I dclick the first and the second name, but not the third name. What **exactly** is passed in @ARGV when I dclick these files? Since the filesystem is NTFS, I would expect a filename in UTF-16LE but when I dump the content of @ARGV (using charnames to avoid encoding issues) I get "asciiname.cho" -- apparently ASCII "namewith\N{LATIN SMALL LETTER WITH ACUTE}ccent.cho" -- apparently UTF8 "namewith?unicode.cho" -- ???? Anyone have an idea what I'm doing wrong?
I think you have to decode the file names. use Encode qw(decode); my $file = decode($ARGV[0]); -- 𝑆𝒉𝒂𝒘𝒏 𝐻 𝐶𝒐𝒓𝒆𝒚 🇨🇦
