Issues with Spreadsheet::Read
===

In my application, we are using Spreadsheet::Read to read a excel and perform some task on the rows and finally add it to a database.

The file we are importing is an Excel file ( .XLSX). This excel file is actually a glossary which serves support to different user languages. 

The problem, I am facing with this process is we have special character cells in some of the rows/columns which are not getting decoded correctly.

For example, if i have a SPANISH Excel FIle:


----------


## *IN THE EXCEL SHEET*    => *Extract from the logs*


----------
Información de cuenta                           => Informaci\x{f3}n de cuenta

Página de consola de administración de curso    => P\x{e1}gina de consola de administraci\x{f3}n de curso

Informaci\x{f3}n de cuenta is getting added in the Db and when fetched it is displaying extraneous characters in the UI.

I tried this solution but it is not working. this is basically Hacking of Spreadsheet::Read

    use Text::Iconv;
    package Spreadsheet::XLSX;

    sub new {
        my $converter = Text::Iconv->new("ASCII","utf-8");
        return __PACKAGE__->SUPER::new(@_, $converter);
    }

Please suggest me what is wrong or any better solution ?
