Bug #82777 for Spreadsheet-Read: xlscat does not decode xml entities from xlsx files

Thu Jan 17 00:43:34 2013 SSWAM [...] cpan.org - Ticket created

Subject:

xlscat does not decode xml entities from xlsx files

xlscat gives like "&" in output where it should be plain "&". I guess it should do $foo = XML::Entities::decode($foo) or similar over the cell data / strings. I can patch this if you like.
