Can't modify non-lvalue subroutine call at ....
for the line
$picCurrent->Top = 130;

That happens when you need to put something in {braces}. I have changed the code in the earlier node to include this, but I have commented in Re: coding for excel in perl on the impenetrability of the rules for using braces. Regards, John Davies	[reply]

Excellent. {}s did the trick and all is as I wanted. At this point I know it seems churlish but it would have been 'nice' if the picutre could have been 'tied' to a cell so that when other cells sizes changed the picutre moves as well. However, I can do exactly what I wanted to do so all is well. Many thanks.	[reply]

you use braces for attributes, arrow for methods, seems simple	[reply]
