note Anonymous Monk <P><I>Since I am reading the names from Excel, so I assumed the source(text of name) is sure UTF-8</i><p>Well, the docs don't agree with your assumption, see [href://http://search.cpan.org/perldoc/Win32::OLE#CP], you need to use CP_UTF8 <p><i> I had a little study. And I tried Win32API::File::MoveFile() and Win32::Unicode::File::moveW() but without success. I had also tried to create a batch file and run it in cmd, still not success. </i><p> And the error message was? Maybe you need to post your code :) 984343 984343 8
