This is a great solution if your site is hosted on a Lose321 system, but not as useful on UNIX/Linuxen.
 
Entirely untrue - This solution was specifically built so that the client could upload their Excel spreadsheet from their Win32 machine to the Unix web server where the data could be integrated into the web page.
 
Anyone know of a portable library (preferably with a Perl module interface) for directly manipulating Excel workbook files? It would have to work on UNIX (Solaris, and maybe Linux).
 
You might do good to take a further look into the Spreadsheet::ParseExcel module - This module provides excellent methods for extracting spreadsheet data and format information, irrelevant of the platform.
 

 
Ooohhh, Rob no beer function well without!
