Ah. Then what you probably want to is use Spreadsheet::WriteExcel to generate the bits for an Excel file, then send those bits back down the wire to the client with a Content-type of "application/vmd.ms-excel".
Yes this is the other module that I was talking about, and I
will take a look at this as well, I was just wanting the power
of the OLE (GRAPHS, the ability to swtich to a word file etc)
Thanx
