Hello Mike,
>Sorry about the OT, but I need to export data from various MySQL tables and >import into Excell spread sheets. Was hoping someone could suggest the best >format, TAB, CSV..etc delimited, which is the preferred format? You can do this from DBI directly. You can use DBD::Excel and DBD::mysql for directly saving the files as excel files which even works on *nix platforms (I haven't used DBD::Excel so cant help you much on this). Hope this information helps you. Regards, Sumit.
