I tried to uninstall and then re-install the latest version of CAVA but I still get the exact same error message. It could be added that I some years ago did the same procedure with an older version of CAVA (and possibly older version of Spreadsheet::WriteExcel) and then it all worked as it should. Unfortunately I'm not able to find this old version so I can't open the project I used then. Tried to use the project converter in the latest version to open it but it doesn't work...	[reply]

Hi, I'm part of Cava development. Why not post to the Cava help list? Anyhow, if you run your exec in diagnostics mode it should tell you exactly where it failed. It appears to be failing during POSIX AutoLoad. Have you edited your POSIX module or autoload files locally? I have no problem building a script with Spreadsheet::WriteExcel / POSIX? Have you tried incrementing the release number?	[reply]

Hello, I haven't changed anything in POSIX or autoload and I tried to run the executable in diagnostics mode but the error message was identical to the one posted by me above. What do you mean by increasing the release number?	[reply]
