Hallo all ,
Greetings to you ,
I am trying to write french accented characters é è ê in
Excel worksheet using my perl script , But I am stuck
here as I couldnt find a way of writing it !:

My code:

use strict;
use warnings;
use Win32::OLE qw(in with);
use Win32::OLE::Const 'Microsoft Excel';
my $Excel = Win32::OLE->GetActiveObject('Excel.Application')|| Win32::OLE->new('Excel.Application', 'Quit'); my $excel_file = 'd:/excelfile.xls';
And it goes on, where I am reading the french text from an
xml file and I am writing it into my Excel worksheet
using this :

$sheet->Cells($i,8)->{'Value'}="$temp"; Where $temp has the french text .. I see that It reads
correctly from the xml file.
my $xmlsource3 = "LAX03fr.xml";
open IN3, "<:utf8", $xmlsource3 or die "Can't Read Source
file $xmlsource3: $!\n";
There was a problem before with reading also but when I
added this "<:utf8" tag in there the problem got solved and
now it reads the characters correctly..

Also i printed the $temp in the output window and it shows
the accented characters correctly , only when it
writes to excel i cannot see the accented characters
and instead I see ,something like this in my excel ! ---> Unité
How can I solve this problem ?
Please help me guys , any help would be greatly appreciated.
thanks a lot, in advance,
shintu
