Using the following line:
print "Content-type: application/vnd.ms-excel", "\n\n";
will force anything viewed in IE to open via Excel.
It can be used like so:
#!/usr/bin/perl
open TABBED_FILE,"your_tabbed_file.txt";# or die "cant open tabbed fil
+e $!";
@data = <TABBED_FILE>;
close TABBED_FILE;
print "Content-type: application/vnd.ms-excel", "\n\n";
print "Col A\tCol B\Col C\n";
foreach $line(@data)
{ my ($thingA,$thingB,$thingC)=split(/\t/,$line);
print "$thingA\t$thingB\t$thingC\n";
}
