Using Perl, is there a difference between Win32API::File::MoveFile and CORE::rename on MSWin32?

Question

I see that Win32API::File supports MoveFile(). However, I'm not sure how CORE::rename() is implemented in such a fashion that it should matter. Could someone juxtapose the difference -- specifically for the Win32 Environment -- between

• CORE::rename()
• File::Copy::move()
• and, Win32API::File::MoveFile()

Answer 1

rename is implemented in a broken fashion since forever; move too, since it uses rename.

Win32::Unicode::File exposes MoveFileW from windows.h as moveW, and apparently handles encoding in a sane fashion, whereas Win32API::File leaves that to the user AFAICS from existing example code.
