Spreadsheet-DataFromExcel For some lucky reason I often and up given data to work with in Excel format. Nothing fancy, just one sheet with basic string data. My steps to utilize it in a perl program were either copy/pasting it into a text file and splitting on \t or firing up L and trying to figure out what exactly that I needed was. No more! Welcome the L! L to L is what a bycicle is to a freight truck. L offers a "no crust" loading of Excel sheets into an arrayref of arrayrefs where each inner arrayref represents a row and its elements represent cells. If you're looking for any more control or data, see L or L INSTALLATION To install this module, run the following commands: perl Build.PL ./Build ./Build test ./Build install SUPPORT AND DOCUMENTATION After installing, you can find documentation for this module with the perldoc command. perldoc Spreadsheet::DataFromExcel You can also look for information at: RT, CPAN's request tracker http://rt.cpan.org/NoAuth/Bugs.html?Dist=Spreadsheet-DataFromExcel AnnoCPAN, Annotated CPAN documentation http://annocpan.org/dist/Spreadsheet-DataFromExcel CPAN Ratings http://cpanratings.perl.org/d/Spreadsheet-DataFromExcel Search CPAN http://search.cpan.org/dist/Spreadsheet-DataFromExcel/ COPYRIGHT AND LICENCE Copyright (C) 2009 'Zoffix This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the same terms as Perl itself.
