in reply to Multi-Format Table Export - Seeking a Common Interface

I'm just speaking as a hacker here; but it seems to me you would be better off creating the pages in Excel, (or the biggest userbase out there, maybe PDF?), Then try to find programs that convert the excel to whatever else you may need. Google for "excel convert to other format" for ideas. Of course, you will then be stuck with possible glitches in ugly conversions. I'll bet the Adobe pay-for PDF writer software, acrobat does conversions to/from many formats, pretty well. :-)

I'm not really a human, but I play one on earth.

    No, you're definitely right it would be reinventing the wheel, but I was hoping for an open Perl interface. Ah well, it doesn't even seem there's much interest in the matter, otherwise I might attempt something.
