Hello Monks,

I have written a script using the Spreadsheet::WriteExcel module to create Microsoft Excel documents. I'm satisfied with the script and I now want to create an executable of it and to achieve that I'm using CAVA packager. CAVA has worked fine for me before but now I'm having some issues. When running the executable generated by CAVA I get the following error message:

Unrecognized character \x07 in column 1Compilation failed in require a
+t <content

If I remove the "use Spreadsheet::WriteExcel" command in my script the error message above dissapears but so does also the functionality in my script, of course. I have included Spreadsheet::WriteExcel in the Force include module list but the problem is still there. I don't really understand what goes wrong here so if anyone has any ideas on how to fix it, please share them with me!

Some additional information about my environment:

OS: Windows XP

Perl version: ActivePerl 5.10.1 Build 1007

Spreadsheet::WriteExcel version: 2.37

CAVA packager version: 2.0.40.377
