Do you mean MS Excel? From your description, I would probably start with - Win32::OLE If you don't care about the re-calc feature, and just want to read / write to an excel workbook, you can look at - Spreadsheet::ParseExcel
Unfortunately, I cannot vouch for either one. I just did a quick search on CPAN. ~SAJ Greg London <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Some designers are using an xcell spreadsheet to generate some rather complex calculations. I was hoping to wrap it in something perl like so that I could set some of the inputs, calculate new results, and get new outputs and use the results in another environment. must work on activestate perl on a pc (I've always worked with linux perl, so I don't know if that makes a difference or not.) URL's appreciated.
