Yes. I just figured it out. I was reading the data using $cell->{Val} which apparently contains the unformatted cell value. I changed to using $cell->value() and that worked (almost..).
I still cannot read Chinese characters from an Excel file. I am guessing the encoding I pass to the decode() function in TextFmt() is wrong, but I do not know how to find the encoding of Excel cells. I tried 'UTF16-LE', 'UTF16-BE', and 'UTF-8' but none worked. Leaving the TextFmt function as it is posted here does not work. Anyone have an idea as to what I might be doing wrong?

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
