Re: Win32::OLE and character sets

The Win32:OLE module documentation describes this behavior. Of particular interest to you might be Win32::OLE->Option() which will allow you to change the code page translation between Perl and the OLE object (setting the CP option).

`use v5.6.1; use strict; use warnings; use utf8; use Win32::OLE; use Carp; Win32::OLE->Option (CP => Win32::OLE::CP_UTF8);` [download] I don't think I missed anything. The strings gotten from OLE are indeed UTF8-encoded, but they are still marked as having byte orientation! Now that's arguably a bug. —John	[reply] [d/l]

Thanks. I'll have to go through the docs again from the top. I seem to have missed that when I re-read them last week.	[reply]
