I wouldn't worry too much. Have you ever seen the disclaimers on ANY
software? Even MS Windows comes with a very similar disclaimer.
My few tests with this module with some files that I thought were
tricky, make me very confident. This is good stuff.
The only problem withit will likely be the Unicode support. Excel
apparently stores the text as Unicode internally, and unless you want to
extract just ISO-Latin-1, you need Unicode::String and related modules
to work. Even then, current support is no further developed than a few
Japanese encodings.
