++ for the idea.

The disadvantages of CVS are, as far as I can see:

  1. the user needs to specify the column formats when importing/opening the file
  2. columns are most times misinterpreted if you choose "standard"
  3. numbers get mixed up

That's why I always used MMM::Sylk. I'm trying now out Excel::Writer::XLSX as it is the successor of the module Corion recommended.
