rename not working on files with accents in names

ActiveState perl 5.8.0 build 806 on Windows 2000 Pro...

The statement:
rename $src, $dst;
returns an error when $src is:
Tecatitlán.txt
If I remove the accented character, the rename operation succeeds.

I tried using File::Copy's move operation as well as setting
${^WIDE_SYSTEM_CALLS} to 1. Neither works.

Any suggestions?
TIA
