in thread How to convert Excel contents into a hash table and further access the contents of that hash table ?

Well, you have the latest version of Spreadsheet::ParseExcel but a very old version of Perl. The oldest version I have on my computer at the moment is Strawberry Perl v5.12.3 (32 bit), which also runs the code you posted with no errors or warnings.

The best suggestion I can make is that you check your Excel file. If I add a blank line above the header — i.e., the line containing:

Student name  IQ  sports  Music  Academic

[download]

— then I get the error message you reported.

Hope that helps,
