Thank you for your kind words! I would not be so dumb as to not thoroughly search before i post a question(of course there is always the 2% probability of missing out on some hint or answer given somewhere). If i were looking for Spreadsheet::WriteExcel, I would not post the question either. But if i were to change all my 10 modules written using/for OLE to Spreadsheet just because i could not figure out how to turn a semi colon to comma, well that would be a bummer. Even Google could not help me with this question except for that i could use Text::CSV. I am not completely rejecting the idea of using a new package but if there were a way to do it without using the package it would be betetr for me. Thousand and decimal separators is not a prio for me more than turning a semicolon to comma! I was told by a wise monk not to try split for *.csv files.
