-----Original Message----- From: Hewlett Pickens [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, March 06, 2002 2:54 PM To: zPerl Beginners Subject: Invoke MS EXCELL From Perl Is there a way to invoke Microsoft EXCELL from Perl? Environment: Using IE on Windows 98, have invoked a CGI script on Linux/390 which sends a comma separated variable (CSV) file back to IE, and the Perl script there files it on the PC's hard drive. Want to do some line/bar/pie graphics on the PC. The GD module isn't available on the Windows version of Perl we have from Active State: v5.6.1 So, would like to invoke EXCELL to do some graphs and bar charts along lines of start excell using abcd.xls "abcd.xls" would have a Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) script to go after and massage the CSV. Thanks, Hew Hewlett M.
