A Google search brings up a few results dealing with this very module. One from October suggests:
# If the next tests give warnings like
# Character in 'C' format wrapped in pack at
# /usr/local/perl/5.8.8/lib/site_perl/5.8.8/Spreadsheet/ParseExcel/
+FmtDefault.pm line 68
# Change C* to U* in line 68

That warning is from my Spreadsheet::Read, which not only issues a warning, but also generates a patch to correct it. As said, the recent Spreadsheet::ParseExcel updates have fixed it already. BUT ...
The new version 0.28 has several problems:
* It is expecting Jcode and Unicode::Map to be installed as prerequisites unconditionally. Just for supporting Japanese.
* It requires IO::Scalar for opening streams, which is not needed for all perl versions that have PerlIO.
I have sent a patch to Gabor to fix both issues, but have no reply yet.
Until then, I would suggest to install Spreadsheet::Read and apply the generated patch.
