Ya, i tried to patch this up in Formula.pm. It works for xlsx by just adding a Function (say PLSFUNCT) of desired name in Formula.pm hash list of functions. But this approach fails for xls writing.

I m able to achive the required in xlsx format but since the server has old version of perl 5.6.0 so xlsx not supported. I, somehow, need to achieve this for xls format

I am able to add function using Spreadsheet::WriteExcelXML but in the end its a XML spreadsheet not a proper xls format.

Requirement is some how to do this in perl 5.6.0. And produce Excel file should me able to support macros (i.e. no XML Spreadsheet).

I m trying to make this Excel::XLSX module (minimum perl 5.10) to work with this version of perl 5.6 but still lots of Headaches (realy messi).
