No problem. WideCharToMultiByte has an argument where you tell what you
want to convert to, and I specifically say that I want UTF-8.

The alternative would be to first try with CP_ACP, that is the ANSI
code page. Which on my machine would be CP1252 and not Latin-1, which
you point out as a possible problem.

Thanks for the response! It appears that I have no reason to change.

(And I have also found out how to handle hash keys. Using hv_store and
send in a raw char* was not that bright of an idea. hv_store_ent with an
SV* key was a lot better.)
