REPORTING A BUG OR ASKING A QUESTION
Feel free to report bugs or ask questions. However, to save
time
consider the following steps first:
Read the documentation:
The Excel::Writer::XLSX documentation
has
been refined in
response to user questions. Therefore,
if
you have a question it is
possible that someone
else
has
asked it
before
you and that it is
already addressed in the documentation. Since there is a lot of
documentation to get through you should at least
read
the table of
contents and search
for
keywords that you are interested in.
Look at the example programs:
There are over 40 example programs shipped
with
the standard
Excel::Writer::XLSX distribution. Many of these were created
in response to user questions. Try to identify an example program
that corresponds to your query and adapt it to your needs.

If you submit a bug report here are some pointers.
1. Put
"WriteExcelXML:"
at the beginning of the subject line. This helps
to filter genuine messages from spam.
2. Describe the problems as clearly and as concisely as possible.
3. Send a sample program. It is often easier to describe a problem in
code than in written prose.
4. The sample program should be as small as possible to demonstrate the
problem. Don't copy and past large sections of your program. The
program should also be self contained and working.
A sample bug report is generated below. If you
use
this
format
then it
will help to analyse your question and respond to it more quickly.
Please don't
send
patches without contacting the author first.

Subject: WriteExcelXML: Problem
with
something.
Hi John,
I am using Excel::Writer::XLSX and I have encountered a problem. I
want it to
do
SOMETHING but the module appears to
do
SOMETHING_ELSE.
Here is some code that demonstrates the problem.
my
$workbook
= Excel::Writer::XLSX->new(
"reload.xls"
);
my
$worksheet
=
$workbook
->addworksheet();
$worksheet
->
write
(0, 0,
"Hi Excel!"
);
