Re^3: Excel to XML issue with Spreadsheet::ParseExcel

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.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
