&lt;p&gt;Hi,
I am fairly new to writing perl scripts and as of yet I have not really wrote any scripts that require other modules, so my understanding of how to do this may be wrong.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Recently my work has requested that I produce a script capable of converting an xlsx file to a UTF-8 encoded flat file. Due to my lack of experience I first focused on using Spreadsheet::XLSX to actually parse a sample file and that appeared to work fine, however when I used my actual file which contained Chinese characters the characters were not displayed correctly; does anyone have any advice on how to get around this problem?&lt;/p&gt;</field>
