Open in Excel, export as CSV? it may not end up in quite the right character set but you could convert that with commandline tools after.

Otherwise you're looking at doing everything with the Perl excel-loading modules and I've got no idea how character sets would be handled with that.

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.
