The first call $SheetOut->write(0,0,"Č芚Žž") produces the correct writeout in Excel xls table.

In my script I open a simple Excel table and read its line where the same "Č芚Žž" characters are written, then I write them into Excel xls table:

push(@Test,{Col1=>$Sheet->Cells(1,1)->{'Value'}})

$SheetOut->write(1,0,encode("cp1250",$Test[0]->{Col1}));

Add 1: As a result the script writes the following characters into output table: "Čč" become "بو", "Šš" and "Žž" become four outlined squares. The characters are therefore completely different, I should perform REPLACE manually in Excel (which is out of question: doing that writing script would have no sense). They become question marks only in case if I skip the use encoding "cp1250".

Add 2: In debugger I see @Test[0]->{Col1} which contains the correct characters "Č芚Žž". Data is read from a simple xls Excel table. The next step is writing into another xls Excel table (using Spreadsheet::WriteExcel. The script does nothing to @Test before writing it into table.

I was curious what happens if I add the following four lines:

1   $String="Č芚Žž";
2   $Test2[0]->{Col1}="Č芚Žž";
...
3   $SheetOut->write(2,0,$String);
4   $SheetOut->write(3,0,$Test2[0]->{Col1});

The result of all additional lines from 1 to 4 in the output Excel table are correct written characters!

So it seems to me that the only problem occurs by reading Slovenian characters from Excel table (via Win32::OLE). Later I'll check the contents of @Test using Data::Dumper (btw thanks for the tip!) and describe the results.
