Update: I haven't fixed that problem, but surprisingly it's no longer an issue: The script is spitting out .xls files with the proper data. The problem now is that the pivot tables are all erased. Anyone know how to make pivot tables with this module?

I'm trying to take an excel report with pivot tables and alter all the values in the data sheet so as to reproduce the report for other customers with different data.

Unfortunately my attempts to rewrite all the cells using "AddCell" and then spit out the new and improved reports using the "SaveAs" function aren't working too well. I'm using perl 5.8.8 on RedHat, I believe.

At the moment I'm getting lots of:

Use of uninitialized value in division (/) at perl_directory/SaveParser.pm line 149.

I know from checking around people have made stuff like this work, but I can't seem to find out how. Any help would be appreciated.
