title: How do you create unicode file names in Windows using Perl
body: <p>I have the following code</p>
  
  <pre><code>use utf8;
  open($file, '&gt;:encoding(UTF-8)', "さっちゃん.txt") or die $!;
  print $file "さっちゃん";
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But I get the file name as ã•ã£ã¡ã‚ƒã‚“.txt</p>
  
  <p>I was wondering if there was a way of making this work as I would expect (meaning I have a unicode file name) this without resorting to Win32::API, Win32API::* or moving to another platform and using a Samba share to modify the files.</p>
  
  <p>The intent is to ensure we do not have any Win32 specific modules that need to be loaded (even conditionally).</p>
