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

So, I still need to generate the file, and read it into $somevariable do I?
Could I take the Spreadsheet::WriteExcel->new("-") call (STDOUT(?)) and stuff that onto $somevariable?

If I run the following code...
# Send the content type
my $name = "testing.xls";
print "Content-disposition: attachment; filename=$name\n";
print "Content-type: application/vnd.ms-excel\n\n";

# Redirect the output to STDOUT
my $workbook  = Spreadsheet::WriteExcel->new("-");

my $worksheet = $workbook->addworksheet();
$worksheet->write(0, 0, "This should work.");
$worksheet->write(0, 1, "In theory.");
$workbook->close();

It'll prompt the user to save the file, (named excel - because of mod_perl) When they click "ok" to save it, its called "testing.xls" like it should be.
But the spreadsheet is empty... :=/
Hrm, interesting
I like problems like this. I always end up learning something new. Yay.
