in reply to reading excel with macros

Submit a bug to the author using rt.cpan.org. When you do so, make sure you attach the simplest Excel file you can create that has this problem. Remember - CPAN authors need the same amount of user-assisted debugging that you do when talking to your users. The more footwork you do, the more likely the author is to find the bug in a reasonable amount of time.
