Re: Reading XLS file using Perl

"Sorry update: I want to copy a .xls to another .xls file i tried"

If you simply want to create a copy of file you don't need to read and parse it.

#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;

use File::Copy;

copy("source.xls","target.xls") or die "Copy failed: $!"

Speaking of exceptions Path::Tiny also uses File::Copy :) `$ perl -le " use Path::Tiny qw/ path /; path( 1 )->copy( 666 ) " copy failed for 1 to 666: No such file or directory at -e line 1.` [download]	[reply] [d/l]
