Look at the following:
  1. Try your script from the command line. It will be easier to debug from here and make sure that Perl is installed. This will reveal any problems related to accessing Excel via OLE.
  2. Try a simple cgi script that doesn't require any other modules. This will make sure that Perl and IIS are happy.
  3. Try your script again. Start thinking about user rights etc. These operate at the file level and the IIS setup level. It is quite possible that on a corporate PC, the NTFS permissions have been tightened up.
