in reply to a dynamic program???

how can I get to save the same sort of data entered through this program in another type of files like spreadsheet .xls instead of the simple .txt file?
Have you tried using a CPAN module, such as Spreadsheet::WriteExcel?
I want to enforce a certain order in the hash values
You could enter the data into an ARRAYS OF HASHES or use Tie::IxHash.

    ohh, I have tried to figure out how to install the CPAN, but I know where to install it in Perl, from the @INC return value directories, but I can not figure out if this CPAN thing comes as a full module to be downloaded at once or if it is like I download whatever I need at the time I need it, I did not find like an organized way to do this, can anyone give me some clues?.. up ahead on the time I think I would need to download BioPerl, I reckon it gotta be the same procedure to downloading CPAN, is that right?

      In addition to what others have said, you can - just in case you are using ActiveState - also use the Active State Package Manager to install additional modules ... just in case you get stuck with cpan and need a quick solution (but in general, it is true that you should get familiar with the cpan utility).
