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!
