[Techtalk] Perl module Spreadsheet::ParseExcel - uselib works!

[mgmonza at sdf.lonestar.org]

Hey all,

This may be a bit too late for proper list manners, but I did want to let 
the list know that uselib worked and Spreadsheet::ParseExcel is now 
functioning on my non root-priveleged account.  Just had to make sure the 
uselib statements referenced the libraries -above- the nececessary .pm 
modules.

Thanks again for the help -

Kathleen, now happily parsing
