I've never tried this, but I think that in theory if your machine's
default code-page is ISO-8859-2, then if you put ISO-8859-2
code-points into a perl string, then it will mostly work - Win32::GUI
simply passes the byte strings from perl to the windows controls, that
in turn assume that the byte strings represent characters in the
default code page (CP_ACP).
Please let me know if you follow-up on this any try it.
Rob.
