Among other things tried:
--I've tried removing the $|=1;.
--I tried changing the order of &call_vars and print $CGI->header; (or Excel's mime type), but no luck.
--I've also tried rearranging where &call_vars appears (in the loop, outside the loop).
What do you think programming is? Alchemy? You just take some fragments of code, and shake them until it produces the right results?

Anyway, you seemed to have tried a lot, but did you print out the value of $spec_vars? Are you sure it contains what you think it contains?
