Hi fellow monks,

Anyone here ever having to do stuffs with the Google Data API, e.g. accessing and manipulating Google Spreadsheets, using Perl? If yes, how do you go about it?

I've searched CPAN and the only thing that comes closest is Net::Google::GData, and at 0.01 I think that it doesn't do anything yet. Officially Google only supports PHP, Python, .NET, Java, Objective C, and Javascript. I'd prefer Perl though, would hate having to write it in PHP.

Actually, this is the first time ever I've experienced that CPAN doesn't have what I want yet other languages do. What a weird feeling :-) Proof that CPAN has been so good to me all these years.
