I am getting this error when reading an XL file.

Character in 'c' format wrapped in pack at c:/Perl/site/lib/Spreadsheet/ParseExcel.pm line 1789.
Character in 'c' format wrapped in pack at c:/Perl/site/lib/Spreadsheet/ParseExcel.pm line 1790.

Here is a sample record.
There are more cells but for formatting reasons I removed them though the data is the same.

18 56.04 61.64 67.25 72.84 78.45 84.06 89.66 95.27 100.86

Thank you in advance.

This problem was solved for me by the solution posted in

by changing --

substr($sWk, 3, 1) &= pack('c', unpack("c",substr($sWk, 3, 1)) & 0xFC);

substr($lWk, 0, 1) &= pack('c', unpack("c",substr($lWk, 0, 1)) & 0xFC);

to

substr($sWk, 3, 1) &= pack('C', unpack("C",substr($sWk, 3, 1)) & 0xFC);

substr($lWk, 0, 1) &= pack('C', unpack("C",substr($lWk, 0, 1)) & 0xFC);

In other words, change the quoted lower case "c" to uppercase on lines 1789 and 1790 in the ParseExcel.pm file in the Spreadsheet::ParseExcel version 0.2603 distribution.
