One thing that you should try is replacing all the $worksheet->write lines with equivelent print lines so that you can see if the problem is in writing the data or in generating it.

The smaller and simpler you can make your test code, the easier it will be to isolate the problem. Copy the code to a different file, then cut lines out and simplify the code until the problem goes away.

This is a generally useful debugging technique for otherwise intractable problems and makes it much easier to generate a simple test case for reporting the problem.


Perl is Huffman encoded by design.
