in reply to Excel csv with Perl

you may need to set STDOUT to binary mode.
binmode STDOUT; 
print "Content-type: application/vnd.ms-excel\n";
print "Content-Disposition: attachement; filename=test.xls\n\n";
print $excel;

    No effect. Perl is run under unix, so it should have no effect.

    Thanks...

      If you still have problems, try a module to phrase the Excel file.

      "Note: An Excel file is comprised of binary data. binmode"
