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
