Re^2: Spreadsheets, HTTP::Recorder and interactivity

OK, so take the case of the same task with different data, what I propose is that instead of coding the whole script you save your interactive Excel session with the first set of data, do some cleaning on it and voila you have your script that you can run later for other inputs.

That's a macro. You can record your "session" as VBA-macro. I can't see the difference between your suggestion and a macro. Of course, Perl integrated in Excel would be quite cool.	[reply]

Excel allows you to install ActiveX controls. ActivePerl installs PerlScript as an ActiveX component. (I've used it in IE for client-side CGI servers.)
