Question

I'm writing a plugin, that ist enabling connection to an excel file. I'm using the Spreadsheet::ParseExcel modul. When I start the script in eclipse/epic, it's working properly, but when it starts from TWiki, the script cannot compute the value at this row: "my $book = Spreadsheet::ParseExcel::Workbook->Parse($path);". With some excel documents works, with other not. The excel format is accurate, I think. The perl-process seems as if it is sleeping. Any ideas?

Answer

With the information you provide it is difficult to help. Please read the SupportGuidelines and provide some more details. Possibly also with some code, e.g. what Plugin callback you use etc.

here is attached the plugin modul. The same problemm comes even if one writes twice %EXCELCONNECTOR{...}% into a topic.

Sorry, I do not know why it hangs. You expand %EXCELCONNECTOR{...}% properly in commonTagsHandler. Time for some CGI debugging, see TWikiDebugging.
