After several attempts and tests, I was lucky in using Spreasheet:XLS and Spreadsheet::XLSX to make Linux parse Excel files.

On the Email front, while I have a good news that I can access my mail server using IMAP or POP, I am simply unable to install Net::IMAP. I get the following error, please advice.

Net::IMAP gave following errors:
