Thanks for the response and input! I had actually tried passing the value as a string and a constant with the same result. I wasn't actually sure it mattered, because no errors are thrown and if I set Merge to "True", it had the same effect as the constant True. To add a bit more detail, I am merging a bunch of cells and trying to add the title of an Excel spread sheet, and center it. Here's the nitty gritty:


#Insert logo and title
$sheet -> Range("1:1")        -> {RowHeight} = 60;
$sheet -> Range("F1:S1")    -> Font -> {Name}    = "Arial Rounded MT B
+old";
$sheet -> Range("F1:S1")    -> Font -> {Size}    = 36;
$sheet -> Range("F1:S1")    -> Font -> {Bold}    = True;
$sheet -> Range("F1:S1")    -> {MergeCells}        = True;    
$sheet -> Range("F1:S1")    -> {HorizontalAlignment}    = xlCenter;
$sheet -> Range("F1:S1")    -> {VerticalAlignment}         = xlCenter;
$sheet -> Range("F1:S1")    -> {Value}        = "Great Job!";

To get around this rather than use the whole row, I've just offset the title and left it left-justified, and hopefully it won't look too awful in common monitor resolutions.
