in reply to OLE Excel.Application Vs Spreadsheet::WriteExcel

Using OLE requires Microsoft Excel installed. Spreadsheet::WriteExcel does not require Excel installed.

Using Excel might be faster in some situations. You don't tell us about your requirements, so it's hard to judge.

    Thanks for the reply Corion.

    My requirement is to generate the excel files with calculated data and graph on Unix based system. Also I have to call Crystal Reports from the same Perl code.
    Can we use OLE Microsoft Excel in this scenario ?

      Please read my above reply and consult with your unix system adminitrator whether you can install Microsoft Excel and Crystal Reports there.
