Re: GB2312 Encoding and File Names

Just a follow up for some help on this problem. I appear to be able to deco=
de Simplified Chinese okay but Tradional Chinese is somewhat more difficult=
.  I have the file name MIME entity:

=3D?gb2312?B?MzYw0MLOxbzgsuItMTItMDEtQ2hpIFNpbXAudHh0?=3D

which should decode to:

DPM2007exchange=E9=9B=BB=E9=83=B5=E8=88=87=E9=83=B5=E7=AE=B1=E4=BF=AE=E5=
=BE=A9.zip

but when I try and decode that name in Perl it comes out as:

DPM2007exchange=EF=BF=BD=EF=BF=BD=EF=BF=BD]=EF=BF=BDc=EF=BF=BD]=E7=AE=B1=
=E4=BF=AE=EF=BF=BD=EF=BF=BD.zip

I have installed the Encode::HanExtra module but even with that it is still=
 not showing correctly. Am I missing some other type of module ?
