Hello,
  I have program that reads in text from an excel spreadsheet (using the
Spreadsheet-ParseExcel module) that works great until...
one of the cells has text that contains a tilda.  It then appears that the
program goes ape-s**t and starts printing out unicode (or multi-byte
characters).  Can anyone explain why and what I can do to disable that
'feature'.  I have tried (unsuccessfully) using pack/unpack, the "use bytes"
pragma, etc, but their ineffectiveness may be (is probably) due to pilot
error.

Any help *MUCH* appreciated.  
either reply to list or directly to me: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

thanks!
