in reply to Two issues with XLSX reporting

The first issue is a bug. I'll post a fix for it shortly.

I don't know what the second issue is. Does it happen when you use a file generated by Excel rather than by Excel::Writer::XLSX?

Update: The first issue is fixed on the master branch in the Github repo and will make its way into version 0.52 in a few weeks.

    Thank you John, I've got another issue fixed. the content_type should be 'application/zip' which resolved my issue.

      Lihao, here's what i used and it doesn't work: my $mail = MIME::Lite->new(
      From =>'abc@host.com',
      To =>'abc@host.com',
      #Cc =>'def@host.com',
      Subject =>'Hello!',
      Data =>"How's it goin', eh?",
      Type => 'multipart/mixed',
      content-type.charset => 'UTF-8',
      content-type => 'application/zip'
      );


      $mail->attach(
      Type => 'application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spreadsheetml.sheet',
      #Encoding => 'base64',
      Path => 'report.xlsx',
      #Filename => 'report.xlsx'
      Disposition => 'attachment'
      );

      please advise!

    I have one more question, can we make Sparklines (similar to Charts) with Excel::Writer::XLSX. that would be really cool if it does..:)

      Good to know about the application/zip type.

      Sparklines are on the TODO list but I don't have a timeframe for them, at the moment.
