Bug #22050 for Spreadsheet-ParseExcel-Simple: Ability to pass separate formatters?

BTW: to solve this problem (which spews a ton of warnings to the console, and thus via CGI::Carp back to people who wouldn't understand a word of it), I rewrote read as follows: sub read { my $class = shift; my ($file, $formatter) = @_; my $book; if (defined($formatter)) { $book = Spreadsheet::ParseExcel->new->Parse($file, $formatter) or return; } else { $book = Spreadsheet::ParseExcel->new->Parse($file) or return; } bless { book => $book }, $class; } This allows you to use it like: use Spreadsheet::ParseExcel::Simple; use Spreadsheet::ParseExcel::FmtUnicode; my $xls = Spreadsheet::ParseExcel::Simple->read($filename, Spreadsheet::ParseExcel::FmtUnicode->new());
