So, I don't think there could be something wrong with the code. I ran the same code on my home computer with Window XP Professional 32 bit but got the same error.

In addition to all of the other comments, The following:

will call the error method from the Spreadsheet::ParseExcel

the Spreadsheet::ParseExcel::SaveParser class.

die $parser2->error;

Also, note the side effect when you add a newline to die's output.
