99To encode pathnames to byte form, either make sure you either: a)
100always pass in filenames you got from outside (command line, readdir
101etc.), b) are ASCII or ISO 8859-1, c) use the Encode module and encode
102your pathnames to the locale (or other) encoding in effect in the user
103environment, d) use Glib::filename_from_unicode on unicode filenames or e)
104use something else.

354IO::AIO handles all outstanding AIO requests before the fork, destroys all
355AIO threads, and recreates them in both the parent and the child after the
