Hello all, I am trying to use a hash to efficiently create multiple Excel workbooks with different worksheets in each. Unfortunately, while the over all workbooks are created, and I don't see any errors, I can't get information written into the actual worksheets. Any help here would be appreciated. The following sample code creates three different workbooks, each with one worksheet. The worksheets should each be named "Test," but that doesn't work. Also, the string "TEST TEST" should be written into A1 on each worksheet.

UPDATE: Apparently in this situation you actually need to "close" the workbook. The docs say that the workbook will close on program execution. So, I'll I did was make the following change:

......
print "End of pass.\n";
print "\n";

$AH{'SS'}{$INFO}{'POINTER'}->close();
}
