Sorry for the delay - had some more visible fires to extinguish.

I have an XLS from which I'm generating XML (and then HTML etc etc) The catches are two fold

  1. the XLS has some convoluted functions which mean that openning it changes it.
  2. the XLS may be currently open by a human user (adding or correcting data)
So I need to either open-it read-only and/or close it with don't save. Now I believe that the correct VB is Open(ReadOnly:=True) and/or Close(SaveChanges:=False). But so far(*) I've been unable to convert this into an effective representation in Perl

* I've only had time to put about an hour into this problem - as it works OK except in the cases listed above.


Butlerian Jihad now!
