Problem with Charset when calling commands

[kyroii]

Hi,

I'm making a script that reads the content of a directory (*.jpg) and then, for earch file uses convert/identify (a tool in imagemagick) on it.

$DIRIN = "C:\\Pics\\";
$_ = ...; (Filename)

So it does:

system ("identify \"$DIRIN$_\"");

That works... but only with [a-z][A-Z][0-9] and space characters.

If a filename is named: "aaá.jpg" it doesn't work anymore. But I really need this because in my language -spanish- this caracters are very common.

Doing s/\xA0/\xE1/g before "identify" will work for the last example. This is supposed to change (English?) ASCII "á" to Spanish ASCII "á".

This will work but I will need to do this with every char and also cannot find all chars I need in (English?) ascii table.

I'm using Spanish Windows XP pro with ActivePerl 5.8.8.817

Wish you can help me.

Thanks in advance

There is a forum for imagemagick:

http://studio.imagemagick.org/discussion-server/

it's not real active but if this is becuase of imagemagick someone there might know of a work around or a solution to your problem besides trying to just convert the characters.
