Perl is returning this error when I try to run this code:

Not a HASH reference at /usr/share/perl5/Spreadsheet/WriteExcel/Worksh
+eet.pm line 1798.

And I'm at a loss for where it might be. Also, as I've been faced with this before, what is the best way to track down issues when the error comes from the module itself? I looked at the code there (for the heck of it) - I'm about 99.9% sure I messed up somewhere. My 'messed up' code is below.

#!/usr/bin/perl -T
