..good question! I have just realised that on the failing PC the line `printf "Excel %s\n",$excel->{'version'};` [download] gave nothing at all - however on the successful PC I got Excel 14.0 I used the same disc for both PCs (I am in the process of replacing the old PC for a new one). On both PCs Excel is stored in same directory .../Office14. Therefore I thought I had but one does not seem to be 'recognised'.	[reply] [d/l]

..more about the versions. Going to the Help where it gives more details about the version, I find that the Version: number and Product ID are different on the 2 PCs. Could this be significant?	[reply]
