Boy do I get sick of pasting this:

<interchange-users guidelines>
-- Contextual quoting is preferred, i.e.

                 Quoting user1 (<user1@somedomain.redhat.com>):

     versus

                 Your reply, lazily put at the top.

                 Quoting user1 (<user1@somedomain.redhat.com>):

         In fact, the author of the program stops following a thread
         the moment this lazy quoting method is used. He figures that
         if you can't take half a minute of your time to save multiple
         minutes of the readers time, the heck with ya.

Dave,

The Excel file stuff will not work unless the modules are successfully 
installed.  To confirm, run this at the command line:

perl -MCPAN -e shell

And then this in the resulting shell (as one line)...

install IO::Scalar OLE::Storage_Lite Parse::RecDescent 
Spreadsheet::ParseExcel File::Temp Spreadsheet::WriteExcel

They are listed in order of dependance.  It will not work until you get all 
"up to date" as a result.  Hope that helps,
