Dear one4k4,

I am going to offer you a few suggestions in hopes that it might help you out.

I assume you have a simple mod_perl request handler working, eh? If you do not make sure you can at least return "hello world" to your browser! :) After that you should only need to do: 


sub handler {

   my $r=shift;

   # generate your Spreadsheet binary and put it in, oh
   # $sheet, ok?

   $r->content_type('application/vnd.ms-excel');
   $r->header_out('Content-disposition' => "attachment; filename=\"$fi
+lename"");
   $r->send_http_header;

   $r->print($sheet);

   return DONE;

}

Let me know how this goes. I've been meaning to do this myself! :) Thanks for prompting me to look into this.
