in reply to don't understand bless

You don't need to bless anything most likely. That error is telling you that $Excel doesn't contain an object and so you can't call a method on it.

bless() is used in creating objects, so to make the error message make more sense think of it as "Can't call method Workbook on a non-object"

    Hello dear Monks,

    Thank you all for your help

    This seems to be second strange bug I'm facing with perl / apache / excel.

    this morning I went back to the code which first gave me error :

    
    my $Excel = Win32::OLE->new('Excel.Application') or die "Could not
+ start excel";

    $Excel->{'Visible'}     = 0;
    $Excel->{DisplayAlerts} = 0;


    my $Book = $Excel->Workbooks->Open ( $excel_template ) 
        or die "Could not open excel template $excel_template"; # open
+ Excel file
    

    my $Sheet = $Book->Worksheets(1) or die "Could not get Worksheet i
+n $excel_template";


    $Sheet->Cells( 9 ,  7 )->{Value} = "$name";

    [download]

    and it works again !?

    If anyone has an idea where to search ? apache / perl / OLE / excel ?

    Have a nice day
