in thread Using Excel in Perl failure after OS re-install

..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'.

    ..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?
