dear monks,
consider a path named d:\\directory1\\

contains the list of directories , some directory contains english letters and some contains chinese letters.
if i use the following program to list the sub directories, it is not giving the directory with chinese letters.

open output,">:utf8","D:\\directory1\\output.doc" or die "Couldn't ope
+n STDOUT: $!";
opendir DIR,"D:/directory1" or print " \ncould not open the directory 
+: $!";
print OUTPUT "\nreading the list from the directory\n";

while ($list=readdir DIR)
{
 if(-d $list)
     {
     print OUTPUT "$list\n";
    }
}
[download]

it not even recognise the chinese directory . And the output is

.
..
directory1 
directory2
[download]

both thes directories contains only english letters. But the directories containing chinese letters is not displayed in that output file.

• Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

  <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>

• Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
