Another mystery of Excel.
I have had the following line of Perl for sometime in my Perl applications and modules used by a number of versions of Excel
use Win32::OLE::Const 'Microsoft Excel';

[download]
However a user is running Excel 2013 and gets the following message
No type library matching "Microsoft Excel" found at module name line 77
Win32::OLE(0.1703): GetOleTypeLibObject() Not a Win32::OLE::TypeLib object at C:/perl5/site/lib/Win32/OLE/Const.pm line 45
Even with the message the application appears to run without any problems.
Therefore I have removed this line and it appears to run in my Excel 2010 version without problems.
Is is safe simply to remove this line (I have the same modules running in other versions of Excel)?
