Hi:
I'm a pascal programmer. I use FreePascal, wich is multiplataform, almost as Perl. FPC (FreePascal) can link programs with external libraries (.so, .dll, .obj, etc.). The only thing that a pascal programer needs is a library with the C calling convention as an interface.

My question to the great gurus at the monastery is : Can I link my program to a perl module ?

I have to solve this problem: my program writes csv files. Excel can read this files, but I canīt put colours or formulas in my csv file. I saw a perl module, Spreadsheet::WriteExcel. Maybe porting the source code of this module to pascal is a good idea, but I have no time to do this now. So, I would like to use this great module to write my own xls files, without the need of text2xls.pl frontend.

Thank you very much, you powerpuf gurus...
