If you're using a browser, then there is no reason to create a file on your server, then serving that file. You can stream the buffer to the web browser.
Being right, does not endow the right to be rude; politeness costs nothing.
Being unknowing, is not the same as being stupid.
Expressing a contrary opinion, whether to the individual or the group, is more often a sign of deeper thought than of cantankerous belligerence.

I am not really sure about what you have mentioned because this is my first time doing anything with the web. My time has pend spent crunching and formating data (middle person).
The data is already on the server but needs to be put together in a spreadsheet so that my client's client's can review from the web.

For CGI programs you can also use the special Perl filename '-' which
+will
redirect the output to STDOUT:
my $workbook = Spreadsheet::WriteExcel->new('-');
See also, the cgi.pl program in the examples directory of the distro.
Excel::Template provides the output() method (similar to HTML::Template) which, with the appropriate Content-Type declaration, will allow for streaming straight to the web.

Spreadsheet...browser? I'm not getting what one has to do with the other. Are you creating the spreadsheet through a CGI and then downloading it? Or is there some voodoo that allows one to view the contents of a spreadsheet through a browser?

The new spreadsheet is created in the directory system /web/htdocs .... so when using Internet Explorer and going to it's (new spreadsheet)URL the information is made available.
