Thank you for your concern

There are some spreadsheets released by some governmental offices.

They are made of several sheets and each sheet contains mostly numbers and
datetimes

I' d like to programmatically read those files, "massage" the data a bit
and store the result in a postgresql based database

This could be done in 2 steps. First writing them as csv files, then reding
the csv files and store the data in the db.

I just found a perl script that seems to do that.
http://search.cpan.org/~ken/xls2csv-1.06/script/xls2csv

I just have to understand how to package that for GuixSD

But if you are aware of any other option, I' d be eager to know

Thanks again
