This does not sound specific to Excel::Writer::XLSX in any way. Did you try Tk::FileSelect? If this does not meet your requirements, please specify in what way.	[reply]

while using excel::write::xlsx, we provide constructor filename with path , and file gets generated in the given path. Let's say I have file name, cgi_dec.xlsx,my requirement is, to get the xlsx object and give user save option with the filename populated, where user can choose the directory to save it, after button clicked, file should get created in the user provided directory. I hope this helps to understand the issue. Thanks.	[reply]

I think you should have at look at this option while using the getSaveFile() function of that module	[reply]

It seems, I need to somehow manage with Tk::FileSelect. Thanks for the suggestion.	[reply]
