Sorry, but your problem does not imply a bug in PEAR itself.  For a
list of more appropriate places to ask for help using PEAR, please
visit http://pear.php.net/support/ as this bug system is
not the
appropriate forum for asking support questions. 

Thank you for your interest in PEAR.

Usually some of your own files are the culprit. 

You can remove BOM from them with sed:

sed -i '1s/^\xEF\xBB\xBF//' example.php

If you happen to find a file with BOM in this project, please reopen
this issue. Finding 
such files is as simple as: 

grep -rl $'\xEF\xBB\xBF' .

Description:
------------
The downloaded document starts with utf-8 BOM bytes: 0xEF 0xBB, 0xBF. An
error is generated when opening it in Excel: File format and extension
of 'test.xls' don't match. The file could be corrupted or unsafe. Unless
you trust its source, don't open it. Do you want to open it anyway?

The same script on an old server works fine, it generates a file 3 bytes
shorter.

I already upgraded to the newest development version of OLE and
Spreadsheet_Excel_Writer.

Test script:
---------------
https://pear.php.net/manual/en/package.fileformats.spreadsheet-excel-writer.intro.php.
I had to insert this line on top: 
date_default_timezone_set("Europe/Amsterdam");
