Hi Elton,
I hope you get the same sense of deja vu re this that I encountered:

I went to google and entered
"Spreadsheet::WriteExcel" macperl
into the search field. Below I've pasted a part of one of the first messages
that popped out the other end... SPOOKY! [[The upshot of the thread was that
MacPerl 5.2 couldn't run Spreadsheet::WriteExcel after about version .25, so
regardless of what you do to bypass the errors you report you ain't getting'
this version workin' in a hurry. (The problem is that Parse::RecDescent
requires Perl 5.005). The "good" news is that Chris has 5.6.1a2 --hope
that's close-- available for testing; the module you're after should work in
that environment.]]
Cheers,
Paul

I am using version 0.25 of Spreadsheet::WriteExcel. It is dated 1/19/2001.
It works fine for me. I don't have Parse::RecDescent on my Mac.
