in thread PERL AND XML

Hi Everyone,
I want a spread sheet of data.
I did try some xml code of my own but I am not sure ..if this is working.For some reason all the data is coming into 1 cell....
I was the data to appear as 
server1  Running  2005-07-24 22:58:06
server2  Running  2005-07-26 13:48:23
server3  Running  2005-07-24 22:51:20

in the spread sheet. I have an immediate deadline...any further help to debug the code will be appreciated.

BTW:Don I did try your suggestion with the XML::Element but I think we need some lib' for that which we dont hv in our prod environment. <

    Here is the code I was trying to work on...but it gets created on 1 cell when I try to open it in a excel spread sheet 
            # start an XML worksheet
         open (my $xmlfl,"+>>$path/$file") or die "$file failed: $!\n"
+;
        print $xmlfl "<?xml version=\"1.0\"?>\n";
        print $xmlfl "<Workbook xmlns=\"urn:schemas-microsoft-com:offi
+ce:spreadsheet\"\n";
        print $xmlfl " xmlns:o=\"urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:offi
+ce\"\n";
        print $xmlfl " xmlns:x=\"urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:exce
+l\"\n";
        print $xmlfl " xmlns:ss=\"urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:spr
+eadsheet\">\n";
        print $xmlfl " <Worksheet ss:Name=\"Policy-Groups\">\n";
        print $xmlfl "  <Table>\n";

        # print $xmlfl the header row
        # <group> <policy1> <policy2> ... <policyn>
        print $xmlfl "   \n<Row>";
        foreach $app(keys %appsrvr) {
                print $xmlfl "    <Cell><Data ss:Type=\"String\">$app<
+/Data></Cell>";
        print $xmlfl "   </Row>";

        print $xmlfl "   <Row>\n";
        foreach $attribute(keys %{ $appsrvr{$app} }) {
#print "  $appsrvr{$app}{$attribute}";
        print $xmlfl "   <Row>\n";
        print $xmlfl "    <Cell><Data ss:Type=\"String\">$appsrvr{$app
+}{$attribute}</Data></Cell>\n";
        print $xmlfl "   </Row>\n";
                }
#       print $xmlfl "   </Row>\n"
        }
#       print "\n";
        
        # End the XML worksheet
        print $xmlfl "  </Table>\n";
        print $xmlfl " </Worksheet>\n";
        print $xmlfl "</Workbook>\n";

      First things first, try wrapping code within your posts in a <code> tag, otherwise it all posts as one big sentence and no one can read it.

      Next: your missing a pi tag after the xml declaration. 
         <?mso-application progid="Excel.Sheet"?>

      This is neccessary or excel will think it's just text, therefore loading it in one cell.

      What version of Excel? You have to have 2002 0r 2003 for it to read ExcelXML properly, it may work with 200, but I'd have to look that up. Try the 'pi' tag?

      Also grab a spreadsheet and save it a XML, use it as a base to create your spreadsheet.

    HTML::TreeBuilder is required for XML::Element
