In a simple script I open a MS Excel table with Slovenian characters and read them into an array. When I write text the Slovenian characters are uncorrect (c with caron turns into e with grave, other two become little outlined square).

I read data (Win32::OLE) from different Excel tables writing them into a single table comparing them and writing (Spreadsheet::WriteExcel) data comparision statuses in different colors and other attributes.

Characters from excel table are correctly read into array. When I open output table they are uncorrect.

The same characters are written correctly into output table if I define them as strings within script.

Windows XP use the cp1250, the characters are 0xc8, 0xe8, 0x8a, 0x9a, 0x8e and 0x9e (c, s, z letters with caron).

I'll appreciate any help.

Thanks.
