A few days ago I wrote a little Perl script that sticks commas into
text files such that Excel can read them as CSV files. It's a really
simple-minded use of the "substr" function, but it gets the job done.
Particularly useful if the text data in question is always in the same
format byte-for-byte.

Subject: Linux, Perl, [open,star]office
I have a windows app that reads a bunch of text files and then using
Win32::OLE it inserts that data into an excel spreadsheet. Is there
something similar I can do with an open office document in Linux?
I am trying to switch my workstation over to all Linux but need to be
able to generate the same reports that I then send to my boss. Which has
to be an excel file. Which open office is able to open/write/create.
Paul
