Can someone pls give me some guidance on how saving files in CSV format using Perl works.
I'm beginning to think it can't be done. I know that's not the case. I think !!!
Someone pls tell me what am I doing wrong. I even tried using just xlCSV, to no avail
All Help appreciated.

Below is my code:


# Format excel spreadsheet for results
$excel = CreateObject OLE "Excel.Application" || die "CreateObject : $
+!\n";
$excel -> Application -> {SheetsInWorkbook} =1;
$excel -> {Visible}=1;
$excel -> Workbooks -> Open;

system('cmd /c "C:/WINNT/Profiles/banirt00/Application Data/Microsoft/
+Queries/remedy_rd.dqy"');
sleep(30);
$excel->ActiveWorkbook->SaveAs({xlFileName =>"c:/remedy2.csv", xlFileF
+ormat => xlCSVWindows} ) or warn("Couldnt save file: $!\n");

$excel->ActiveWorkbook->Close ( {xlSaveChanges => False} );

$excel-> Application -> Quit;
