Hello youhaveaBigEgo,

Check that Spreadsheet::ParseExcel is installed. When I run your script on Strawberry Perl v5.18.2 (on Windows 8.1), using Spreadsheet::Read 0.66, with debug => 5, it works correctly as follows:

16:01 >perl 1684_SoPW.pl
$Options = {
             'attr' => 0,
             'debug' => 5,
             'strip' => 0,
             'clip' => 1,
             'cells' => 1,
             'rc' => 1,
             'dtfmt' => 'yyyy-mm-dd'
           };
Opening XLS tmp.xls using Spreadsheet::ParseExcel-0.65
        1 sheets
        Sheet 2 'Sheet1' 2 x 7
-35,-39,-39,-60,-35,-39,
-36,-40,-40,-59,-36,-40,

BTW, your C-style for loops would be better written as foreach loops:

for my $i (1 .. 2) {
    for my $j (1 .. 6) {

Hope that helps,
