What do those complaints look like? This, perhaps?
$ perl -"I[.blib.lib]" examples/array_formula.pl
(in cleanup) Couldn't create sub directory
mda0:[craig.scratch.QHki3CLXLC]/xl: no such file or directory at
blib/lib/Excel/Writer/XLSX/Workboo
k.pm line 957.
Looks like mongrel syntax to me. It’s getting a temp file in native syntax,
then pasting “/xl” onto it. I’ll see if I can spot where it’s doing that and
what to do about it as this would be a very nice module to have available.

I think I might’ve built a previous version once but don’t recall actually
using it.
