Hi guys

I'm wondering how i can insert a word into the top of an excel file using perl without messing with the format. I want to add a row at the top of the file and insert a word in the first row first column keeping same format, having dramas.

I have created a new file with the word i want in 0,0 then i want the other document to copy itself under this word. basically I just want everything to be a row lower than it is in the same format and then insert a word into the first row first column for encryption purposes. Can anyone help? 


if ($WE_NEED_TO_DO_ENCRYPTION) {
    if ($ext =~ /XLS/i) {
      # open a new excel file insert the word 'encryted' on the 1st ro
+w, 1st column.
      my $workbook  = Spreadsheet::WriteExcel->new($report_type . '_' 
+. $time . $ext);
      my $worksheet = $workbook->add_worksheet();
      $worksheet->write(0, 0,  'encrypted');  
      # now copy report file into the new xsl file.
      # THIS IS WHERE I AM STUCK I NEED TO PUT THE REST OF ANOTHER FIL
+E HERE IN THE SAME FORMAT
