Such talks makes me to recall a case when some of Win32::OLE tests failed
because during tests there was a call to Excel's function "PI()" and Excel
on my machine, being localized into Russian, failed to run PI() because
names of that function were translated into Russian during localization! One
must call similar function but typed by *cyrllic* letters! (like
"\xCF\xC8()")
Perl program written to manage Russian Excel, or even Excel-basic program,
will is not portable for English Excel.
At that moment I wanted to make "seppuku", or even "crucify" to that Excel!
Especially for someone who invited such behaviour.
