I'd like to be able to convert a spreadsheet (probably in Excel format) into a set of CSV files representing each tab. Can I do this in a script?

I'm running on Linux. This is part of a web based application where a user submits a CSV file for processing. At the moment, my users have to save each tab individually before submission, which is a bit tedious.
You certainly can save a document in a tab-delimited format by save as, select file type text csv and edit filter settings, and pull down the Field delimiter to {tab}.

Or, if you get a true comma delimited file, you could use a simple bash (using sed) or perl script to change the commas to tabs.
