in reply to Spreadsheet::WriteExcel under mod_perl 2

Why don't you simply print to STDOUT? That does the right thing under both versions of mod_perl.

UPDATE: I didn't realize you need to pass a filehandle to Spreadsheet::WriteExcel. I think you could still pass STDOUT though. However, I noticed some problems in your code. For one thing, $ENV{MOD_PERL} is defined under mod_perl 1.x as well. See this for more info.

    Can I just do this, then? 
    sub output
{
    my $self = shift;

    binmode STDOUT;
    $self->write_file(\*STDOUT);
}

    In other words, will that work for the three situations I've outlined? (Are there others??)

      It seems like it ought to work to me. Try it.
