Greetings all, I've been palying around with Spreadsheet::WriteExcel lately (excelent module, by the way; no pun intended), and I think that I've discovered a bug of sorts. Here's a program that demonstrates the problem: 
#!/usr/local/bin/perl -w

use strict;

use Spreadsheet::WriteExcel;

my $workbook = Spreadsheet::WriteExcel->new("test.xls");
my $worksheet = $workbook->addworksheet("foo");

my $formula = $worksheet->store_formula('=SUBTOTAL(9,A1:B1)');

foreach my $row (0..99) {
        $worksheet->write($row, 0 , $row+1);
        $worksheet->write($row, 1 , $row+1);
        $worksheet->repeat_formula($row, 2, $formula, undef, 'A1', 'A'
+.($row+1), 'B1', 'A'.($row+2));
        $worksheet->repeat_formula($row, 3, $formula, undef, 'A1', 'B'
+.($row+1), 'B1', 'B'.($row+2));
        #$worksheet->repeat_formula($row, 2, $formula, undef, 'A1', 'A
+'.($row +1), 'B1', 'B'.($row+1));
        #$worksheet->repeat_formula($row, 5, $formula, undef, 'A1', 'D
+'.($row +1), 'B1', 'E'.($row+1));
}

In the resulting spreadsheet, column "C" shows up as expected, and for the most part, so does column "D", except for rows 10-19, and row 100. For those rows, the formula that is put in the cell is of the form =SUBTOTAL(9,B1: B(11*row)), where row is the row in the Excel file. Is this something that's documented that I missed, or is this a genuine bug?
