[sf-perl] writing a csv file: how do i embed a newline in a cell?

[Paul Makepeace]

A heartfelt plea from the trenches...

Please, please do not write or use anything that produces CSV output!
There is no unicode standard around it and you WILL run into accented
character and interop issues with it. Yes, English has accented
characters(!) Also, as you've seen programs tend to be dumb about
interpreting CSV.

XLS gets UTF-8 right and is the best solution here.
