One clarification for the archives:

While the effect of Win32::OLE->Option(CP => Win32::OLE::CP_UTF8)
was overridden in this case by the PerlScript engine eliminating
all characters not in ANSI (CP_ACP), as Jan explained in one of
his replies, it's not at all true that this option does not have
an effect in the general case as implied by my code sample; on
the contrary, it does work, and is essential for Unicode text
processing.
