Hi,

I have experienced failing test "# 42. Translate character from ANSI -> OEM" in
t/ole.t - here is the failing message:

# Excel version is 11.0
# ANSI(cp1252) -> OEM(cp437/cp850): 163 -> 156
# ANSI is "ú" (163) and OEM is "Ł" (157)
not ok 42

I am pretty sure that the reason is Eastern Europe locale on my Windows box =
ANSI:cp1250 OEM:cp852

The same behaviour on Win32 strawberry perl 5.8.9 and 5.10.1.

Would it be possible to somehow modify this test to be ready for non
English/Latin1 Windows? Even skipping the test on non-English Windows would be
fine.

Thanks.
