I have a file defined that comes from a template.

I would like to keep said file... still use tt

but spit out excel from it using Spreadsheet::WriteExcel.

why?

because due to some client nastiness i actually had to embed some logic in the template...
much as i hate to do it... or rewrite a section of code which i would then have to
rewrite in another month... and so on and so forth.


and now... some people want a .csv for processing by another script
while still others need it as a .xls with the formatting set because w/o
the formatting the people using it get confused ( some basically dont
even know what an excel column format is ).

my other option is to create the .csv then write another write to parse it
and turn it into an excel file. but... i'd rather be able to actual use WriteExcel
as the output engine from a template...

I use both TT and Spreadsheet::WriteExcel, yet I'm not sure what you're
trying to accomplish. Why are you trying to combine the two? Are you trying
to create Excel templates with embedded TT constructs? Personally, I send my
generated spreadsheets directly to the browser.
