Re^3: Excel::Template corrupt output

I ran your code with the following setup and it worked just fine without any errors. You sure you're using a binary transfer mode when ftp'ing the file?

RH9 (2.4 kernel), Perl 5.8.0 (vendor build)
S::WE 2.04, E::T 0.12
MS Excel 2002 (I don't have access to Office2k3)

Then there are Damian modules.... *sigh* ... that's not about being less-lazy -- that's about being on some really good drugs -- you know, there is no spoon. - flyingmoose

I shouldn't have to say this, but any code, unless otherwise stated, is untested

Yes, I'm sure. I'm transferring the file with Samba. I can successfully run the code on Windows with Perl 5.8.x and the file opens without warning; the only thing I've noticed is that the corrupt file is 2 bytes larger (5,634 bytes vs. 5,632).	[reply]

Please go ahead an open a bug on rt.cpan.org and I'll look at it. The suspect I'm looking at right now is the Perl version - 5.6.x vs. 5.8.x, but I don't have a 5.6.x version handy. It might be a few days before I get one installed and running (work is heating up right now). Try installing 5.8.x on the linux box and see if that fixes things. When I ran on Linux using 5.8.0, my file was 5632 bytes long. ------ We are the carpenters and bricklayers of the Information Age.
