in reply to Spreadsheet-WriteExcel open existing XLS file

If your company does not allow you to install Excel, can you install Open Office? Open Office can read in Excel files and save them in its own format, which you can then manipulate with modules such as OpenOffice::OOBuilder, OpenOffice::OOSheets or OpenOffice::Parse::SXC.

A program should be light and agile, its subroutines connected like a string of pearls. The spirit and intent of the program should be retained throughout. There should be neither too little or too much, neither needless loops nor useless variables, neither lack of structure nor overwhelming rigidity." - The Tao of Programming, 4.1 - Geoffrey James
