PEAR Spreadsheet_Excel_Writer

I am trying to get the Spreadsheet_Excel_Writer to work as a vendor in
CakePHP 1.2. I have downloaded the PEAR library and the
Spreadsheet_Excel_Writer libraries to the following:

app/vendors/PEAR/PEAR
app/vendors/PEAR/Spreadsheet_Excel_Writer-0.9.1

I am trying to export a list of registrations that is stored in a
MySQL database. In my controller, I am trying to load the vendor
libraries with the following:
App::import('vendor', 'xls', array('file' => 'vendors/PEAR/
Spreadsheet_Excel_Writer-0.9.1/Writer/Writer.php'));

I am trying to do everything from the controller and not the view, as
I want this to be a "view-less" action.

The code I am trying to load is as follows:
$xls = new Spreadsheet_Excel_Writer("registrations.xls");

and it fails and gives this error message:
Fatal error: Class 'Spreadsheet_Excel_Writer' not found in ~app/
controllers/conferences_controller.php on line 827

I have looked thru this group to see if there is any info or
instructions on how to include PEAR libraries with a CakePHP 1.2 app,
and I have looked thru the cookbook and there is no section for
vendors, and I have done Google searches for the info on how to do
this.

If anyone can steer me in the right direction, or to a site that has
the information on how to get a PEAR library to work with CakePHP 1.2,
it would be very helpful.
