I can think of a number of workarounds:
* Use the Win32::FileOp module.
* Use one of the other both file dialogs bundled with Perl/Tk:
Tk::FileSelect and Tk::FBox. The latter is called on Unix systems when
using getOpenFile.
It would be nice to know if it's a Perl/Tk problem or a core Tk
problem. Try to reproduce the problem with Tcl/Tk (the script
should just contain
tk_getOpenFile
), preferably with the same version Perl/Tk is based on.
