Hi fellow monks, today I have spent some time trying to transponate a range (2D-grid) in Excel.
I have followed the usual(?) procedure to record a macro in excel doing the operation and then converting the VBA-code to perl

The line that does the actual transpose look like this 

$sheet->Cells(10,5)->PasteSpecial(
  {Paste => xlAll,
   Operation => xlNone,
   SkipBlanks =>  0,
   Transpose => 1
  });

This results in the following errormessage from Win32::OLE
OLE exception from "Microsoft Excel": Could not find PasteSpecial property for the Range class Win32::OLE(0.15) error 0x80020009: "Exception occured" in METHOD/PROPERTYGET "PasteSpecial" at cp2.pl line 31

I get the same errormessage when I invoke the function with the more standard call approach

$sheet->Cells(10,5)->PasteSpecial(xlAll, xlNone,  0, 1);

HOWEVER when I skip the fourth argument, "Transpose", thing work OK except that no transposition is done as the argument defaults to false

Any ideas someone??
