That looks fine, except for what I assume is a typo: the space between "source_txt_" and "file"

To be certain, I tested using nawk/osx and gawk/cygwin-winxp; both worked as expected.

It would help if you would share a reduced version of your source file, one english line and one bulgarian line (obfuscating any sensitive info, of course). Also, given the strange things that can happen in transit, a paste of a hex/octal dump of those bytes would be very helpful.

Example:

Code:
$ cat utf8-data 
English: I can eat glass
Bulgarian: Мога да ям стъкло, то не

$ od -c utf8-data 
0000000    E   n   g   l   i   s   h   :       I       c   a   n       e
0000020    a   t       g   l   a   s   s  \n   B   u   l   g   a   r   i
0000040    a   n   :     320 234 320 276 320 263 320 260     320 264 320
0000060  260     321 217 320 274     321 201 321 202 321 212 320 272 320
0000100  273 320 276   ,     321 202 320 276     320 275 320 265  \n    
0000117

$ awk '{ print $0 "\t" (/[\320-\323]/ ? "bg": "en")}' utf8-data
English: I can eat glass        en
Bulgarian: Мога да ям стъкло, то не     bg

excel::writer::xlsx::package::packager

Excel::Writer::XLSX::Package::Packager(3pm)		User Contributed Perl Documentation	       Excel::Writer::XLSX::Package::Packager(3pm)

NAME

       Packager - A class for creating the Excel XLSX package.

SYNOPSIS

       See the documentation for Excel::Writer::XLSX.

DESCRIPTION

       This module is used in conjunction with Excel::Writer::XLSX to create an Excel XLSX container file.

       From Wikipedia: The Open Packaging Conventions (OPC) is a container-file technology initially created by Microsoft to store a combination
       of XML and non-XML files that together form a single entity such as an Open XML Paper Specification (OpenXPS) document.
       <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_Packaging_Conventions>.

       At its simplest an Excel XLSX file contains the following elements:

	    ____ [Content_Types].xml
	   |
	   |____ docProps
	   | |____ app.xml
	   | |____ core.xml
	   |
	   |____ xl
	   | |____ workbook.xml
	   | |____ worksheets
	   | | |____ sheet1.xml
	   | |
	   | |____ styles.xml
	   | |
	   | |____ theme
	   | | |____ theme1.xml
	   | |
	   | |_____rels
	   |   |____ workbook.xml.rels
	   |
	   |_____rels
	     |____ .rels

       The "Excel::Writer::XLSX::Package::Packager" class co-ordinates the classes that represent the elements of the package and writes them into
       the XLSX file.
