Excel-Template: MergeRange

perlGyan has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi, I am trying to use the module to generate a excel report using the default rendering engine but when i am trying to merge two or more cells using the example on http://search.cpan.org/~rbo/Excel-Template-0.34/lib/Excel/Template/Element/MergeRange.pm ..I keep on getting warnings:

Property 'txtobj' is unrecognized at .....Excel/Template/Element/Merge
+Range.pm line 42
Property 'ref' is unrecognized at .....Excel/Template/Element/MergeRan
+ge.pm line 42

hi perlGyan and welcome to perlmonks! Please read How do I post a question effectively? you will be more likely to get a response. I will ask you, do you have you all the inheritance dependencies? Viewing the write ups against the source the dependencies do not appear so obvious. For example, the inheritance dependancy Excel::Template::Element described on the cpan page for ~/MergeRange.pm appears to serve no other purpose than to call Excel::Template::Base. There is probably a good reason for this which is stored in a deep underground tertiary to a cpan mapping contemplation complex that I do not yet begin to comprehend. However, the 'txtobj' may be from module Excel::Template::Factory. For an initial response I would suggest ensuring you have the following Modules installed: Excel::Template::Base Excel::Template::Factory Excel::Template::Element Excel::Template::Cell Excel::Template::Range I have ocluded Excel::Template::MergeRange from the list for obvious reasons. You may already have all these installed.(?) If you do I suggest checking through the inheritance through the source in case there were any I missed. Then, if still not working, post an example of the broken code and expected/actual output	[reply]
