Didn't Win32:OLE exist in those days? There is a long history of that module reading Excel files. .xlsx is essentially a zipped version of .xls , so it is a bit different. And maybe I could access .xlsx files in OLE due to have the Excel program on my computer. I don't think OLE can create an .xlsx file, but it might be able to access it for reading. (See notes in the PerlMonks tutorials for some guidance on that.)

Warning. I didn't test this, or research it deeply. This is just a thought.
