Bug#435806: manpage example does not work

[Jeremiah Foster]

 From reading the Synopsis on CPAN, it looks as if you may have  
initialized the object in a manner that OLE::Storage_Lite may not  
understand. My understanding is that you need to present it with an  
XLS file of some kind;

   my $oOl = OLE::Storage_Lite->new("some.xls");

whereas ->new('test.msg') might not exist, be an XLS file, etc.
