I'm sure that is a typo. Writing an XLS is done with Spreadsheet::WriteExcel (old format) or Spreadsheet::WriteExcelXML (new format).

You can also read spreadsheets with Spreadsheet::Read which is just a wrapper around the available parsers, giving you a unified API for all type of spreadsheet formats. That will support the not-yet-existing Spreadsheet::ParseExcelXML soon after it is available.


Enjoy, Have FUN! H.Merijn

    Thanks for pointing out the typo (fixed) and for letting me know about Spreadsheet::Read.
