    G'day fionbarr,

    I suggest reading Spreadsheet::WriteExcel's short description.

    It describes the files produced, provides a warning about this module being "in maintenance only mode", and recommends a newer module to use and how to migrate to it.

    [In general, please read the documentation of modules you're using before asking us to read it for you!]
