djwaddel has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:
Hmm this should be a fun one to figure out!!
Hey Wise ones,
quick question about do() ...
I am using do() to run some dynamically created code to make a gnuplot chart. Prior to running that external code though I insert some data into a spreadsheet using WriteExcel, and if I close the workbook after the do(), the excel file is empty. If I close the workbook before the do() the workbook is fine.
This kinda sucks because I want to insert the chart that my external code is creating into my excel file...
Is there some gotcha not mentioned in perldoc or the man page about using do(), where stuff done before the do() is forgotten after, or something along those lines?
Thanks in advance!! I appreciate it!
