DBD::Excel has its limits though as it expects the spreadsheet to be in a "typical" format with the first row having the field-names. If you have a more involved (or less strict) spreadsheet your outta luck with DBD::Excel.

For such relatively simple things I prefer the tab-separated file way as the Spreadsheet-modules are not so simple to use.
