Re^2: Spreadsheet:: parseexcel XLSX

I need an XLSX parser that a) works on windows b) works with perl 5.8.9 If b) is not possible, the question is: by going to the most recent activestate, can I get it and how likely is it to get incompatibility with existing scripts?

The CPAN Tester Matrix for Spreadsheet::XLSX suggests that the module passes its tests on 5.8.9.	[reply]

Please do NOT use Spreadsheet::XLSX anymore! The new Spreadsheet::ParseXLSX is MUCH better and actively maintained. (fwiw Spreadsheet::Read supports both) Enjoy, Have FUN! H.Merijn	[reply]

Sure, but how do I get a working module for Windows?	[reply]

You buy support from ActiveState. Alternatively, you can learn about the `cpan` tool that comes with Perl since version 5.0. Installing the module should be as easy as typing `cpan Spreadsheet::XLSX` on the command line. Also see A Guide to Installing Modules and A guide to installing modules for Win32.
