Did you download Spreadsheet::Read yourself and run `make` or `dmake` yourself, or did you use `cpan` or `cpanm`? I reinstalled Spreadsheet::Read and it worked without any problem. My system is Windows 8.1 and I use Strawberry Perl 5.22. CountZero A program should be light and agile, its subroutines connected like a string of pearls.
