My server does have Spreadsheet::ParseExcel module and Perl installed.
Indeed I ran the Perl program that uses Spreadsheet::ParseExcel module
on command line on server machine, and it ran smoothly. However, when I
called the same Perl program from PHP (using exec()) through web
request, Perl program can't run (but PHP produced no error message to
the client browser). I got rid of "use Spreadsheet::ParseExcel;" in
Perl program, and then call the modified Perl program from PHP through
web request, the Perl program ran smoothly.

It seems that PHP server scripting uses different Perl environment as
the command line even though on the same machine. Any suggestions or
clues?

Thanks,
