This is true if the original problem was with gdata::read.xls().
But xlsReadWrite was loaded, and this package doesn't use Perl to read
an xls file.
Is there a confusion somewhere?

however if I change xls to csv it works just fine. Any ideas what I'm

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.
