While going through filename bytes versus utf8 in my own program I noticed this bit of GError which I think is currently concatting utf8 and bytes.
Did you take a look at the filename conversion stuff in Glib (filename_to_unicode, filename_from_unicode) too, by chance? Marc Lehmann says it's totally broken: <https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=39438>.
I expect anyone with non-ascii in the path to their perl code files is probably asking for trouble, but I think a filename_display_name() would at least get it displaying right. It's a little tricky to test this. I used the foo.pl below in a filename with some utf8, run in a utf8 locale. Without filename_display_name() the stringized bit gives an extra "A" etc, per the usual odour of bad utf8 (or bad odour of utf8, as the case may be :-)
The looks good to me. muppet?
