Re: @ generating Excel Attachment using Perl

gives an error like "Can't call method "add_worksheet" on an undefined value

"If the file cannot be created, due to file permissions or some other reason, new will return undef. Therefore, it is good practice to check the return value of new before proceeding. As usual the Perl variable $! will be set if there is a file creation error."

Thanks sir for replying back pon my post yesterday .I read your question and one query strike in my curious mind is that , 'As per your reply I am not getting rights to generate an excel file but when I execute the same program in command line then I can generate the excel file at the same location where I am running that script Why is it so ?'

Are you running the script at the command prompt as the same user your webserver (apache?) is running as? Read and understand Ovid's CGI Course - Resurrected and Updated! which explains such issues.	[reply]
