Hi,
Recently I'm facing some problems with this parser. My excel file has some chinese and japanese characters which I' not able to get correctly into the test file. My code snippet:
----

my $oBook = Spreadsheet::ParseExcel::Workbook->Parse($file); // correctly instantiated.
my($iR, $iC, $oWkS, $oWkC);
binmode STDOUT, ":utf8";
foreach my $oWkS (@{$oBook->{Worksheet}}) { // // correctly instantiated.
print "----- SHEET: ", $oWkS->{Name}, "\n";
for(my $iR = $oWkS->{MinRow} ;
defined $oWkS->{MaxRow} && $iR <= $oWkS->{MaxRow} ; $iR++) {
for(my $iC = $oWkS->{MinCol} ;
defined $oWkS->{MaxCol} && $iC <= $oWkS->{MaxCol} ; $iC++) {
$oWkC = $oWkS->{Cells}[$iR][$iC];

# there is content in this cell
if($oWkC) {
my $value = $oWkC->Value;
if($value ne "") {
print $value . $sep;
}
}
# oops, no content %&#@!?
else {
print $sep;
}
#print "( $iR , $iC ) =>", $oWkC->Value, "\n" if($oWkC);
}
print "\n";
}
}

----
Most of the other lnaguages are supported. Any help is appreciated.
