Hi fellow monks,

Anyone here ever having to do stuffs with the Google Data API, e.g. accessing and manipulating Google Spreadsheets, using Perl? If yes, how do you go about it?

I've searched CPAN and the only thing that comes closest is Net::Google::GData, and at 0.01 I think that it doesn't do anything yet. Officially Google only supports PHP, Python, .NET, Java, Objective C, and Javascript. I'd prefer Perl though, would hate having to write it in PHP.

Actually, this is the first time ever I've experienced that CPAN doesn't have what I want yet other languages do. What a weird feeling :-) Proof that CPAN has been so good to me all these years.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
