Hello Tek Tippers!
I am trying to create a barcode from a module. gd::barcode which I did. It creates a png which is fine. The problem is I can't import a png into write::excel as far as I know so I converted it into bmp with image::magick. Problem is the bmp it creates is not a bmp 24 truecolor which is the only kind write::excel with let you import. If I take the bmp and open it in fireworks and convert it to bmp 24 write::excel works fine. I have tried a million things to get it to work. Perl Monks have given suggestions which I tried but no one has been able to give me any working code. If some one knows how to do it or has some working code PLEASE help me. I hate being this close and working for days and not being able to find a fix. Thanks a bunh!!
