This is a debugging project; it should take 5 minutes for someone who is already an expert. I have a simple problem in Windows 7 x64 using Active Perl 5.12 - Binary build 1202 [293621] provided by ActiveState http://www.ActiveState.com. I have a folder with files that include foreign characters, e.g. C?o (the Portuguese word for Dog). When I enter this simple script on the command line: perl -MFile::Find -e "find sub { print """$_\n""" } , '.'" The file name containing foreign characters gets corrupted when printed to the screen. The ? prints like π (the symbol for Pi). I need a simple, immediate, and general solution to avoid corruption of foreign characters like ?. ## Deliverables THE DEADLINE FOR THIS PROJECT IS 2 HOURS. WHEN YOU BID, PLEASE STAY ON THE COMPUTER TO WAIT FOR BID APPROVAL. BID WILL BE APPROVED WITHIN 1 HOUR.
