You can use Win32::Unicode::Dir. For example:

use strict;
use warnings;
use utf8;
use Win32::Unicode::Console;
use Win32::Unicode::Dir ();

my $dir = 'Sönmez';
my $dest = 'temp';
Win32::Unicode::Dir::mkpathW($dest) or dieW "Could not create directory '$dest': $!";
Win32::Unicode::Dir::mvtreeW( "${dir}/", $dest) or dieW  "Cannot move '$dir' to '$dest': $!";
Win32::Unicode::Dir::rmdirW( $dir) or dieW "Cannot delete source directory name '$dir': $!";
