however if I change xls to csv it works just fine. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong? I have have also using the package gdata with the exact same error.

Below is the error that pops up.

Error in findPerl(verbose = verbose) :
perl executable not found. Use perl= argument to specify the correct path.
Error in file.exists(tfn) : invalid 'file' argument

Your error message suggests you do not have a suitable version of Perl installed.
