I have a piece of code that looks like this:

Dir.new(path).each do |entry|
    puts entry
end

The problem comes when I have a file named ???????.txt in the directory that I list. On a Windows 7 machine I get the output:

???????.txt

From googling around, properly reading this filename on windows seems to be an impossible task. Any suggestions?
