This queue is for tickets about the Spreadsheet-ParseExcel CPAN distribution.
Maintainer(s)' notes
If you are reporting a bug in Spreadsheet::ParseExcel here are some pointers
1) State the issues as clearly and as concisely as possible. A simple program or Excel test file (see below) will often explain the issue better than a lot of text.
2) Provide information on your system, version of perl and module versions. The following program will generate everything that is required. Put this information in your bug report.
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
print "\n Perl version : $]";
print "\n OS name : $^O";
print "\n Module versions: (not all are required)\n";
my @modules = qw(
Spreadsheet::ParseExcel
Scalar::Util
Unicode::Map
Spreadsheet::WriteExcel
Parse::RecDescent
File::Temp
OLE::Storage_Lite
IO::Stringy
);
for my $module (@modules) {
my $version;
eval "require $module";
if (not $@) {
$version = $module->VERSION;
$version = '(unknown)' if not defined $version;
}
else {
$version = '(not installed)';
}
printf "%21s%-24s\t%s\n", "", $module, $version;
}
__END__
3) Upgrade to the latest version of Spreadsheet::ParseExcel (or at least test on a system with an upgraded version). The issue you are reporting may already have been fixed.
4) Create a small example program that demonstrates your problem. The program should be as small as possible. A few lines of codes are worth tens of lines of text when trying to describe a bug.
5) Supply an Excel file that demonstrates the problem. This is very important. If the file is big, or contains confidential information, try to reduce it down to the smallest Excel file that represents the issue. If you don't wish to post a file here then send it to me directly: jmcnamara@cpan.org
6) Say if the test file was created by Excel, OpenOffice, Gnumeric or something else. Say which version of that application you used.
7) If you are submitting a patch you should check with the maintainer whether the issue has already been patched or if a fix is in the works. Patches should be accompanied by test cases.

MTHURN [...] cpan.org - Ticket created
your module can not be installed with automated tools like CPANPLUS
because of missing prerequisite Unicode::Map. Test basic.t FAILS if
Unicode::Map is not installed. PLEASE add Unicode::Map to your list of
explicit prereqs in Makefile.PL. Thank you.

And Spreadsheet::WriteExcel and Jcode are also prerequisites not
explicitly declared but leading to test failures.
Thanks

And all this is still true for 0.29.
Please consider reading the bug reports on rt.cpan.org or document where
you want bugreport sent to. Note that your README suggests to use RT!
Please! Thanks.

I made the part of t/basic.t that needs Unicode::Map optional to run only if
that module is installed. Which other tests fail for you?

As the cpan testers matrix view of Spreadsheet::ParseExcel looks rather
green now, I assume that all prereq issue are fixed?

Hi,
In that case I will close the issue.
Thanks,
