in reply to Using Win32:OLE on Excel

Have you tried Spreadsheet::ParseExcel?

Of course, that won't help you if you're trying to read DDE data from Excel, but if its static data, it might be simpler than working via the OLE interface.

I haven't tried SS::PE myself. I use Spreadsheet::WriteExcel a lot, but that won't help you read the data at all.

    Thanks Mike, I'll have to check that out. I headed out in the win32:ole direction because that was the only way I knew of from my last stint with perl (3 years ago, the layers of rust are deep). Geoff
