G'day squarez,

Welcome to the monastery.

I can't actually find a module called WriteExcel on CPAN. There's a lot with WriteExcel in the name: I'm going to guess you're using Spreadsheet::WriteExcel.

This module has a method called write_row() whose documentation has:

"... This is useful for converting the results of a database query into an Excel worksheet. ..."

You should be able to modify your code to something like (untested): 

while (my @res = $sth->fetchrow_array()) {
    @res = map { defined ? $_ : '' } @res;
    $worksheet->write_row($i, 0, [@res]);
    $i++;
}

I also noted Excel::Writer::XLSX has a method with the same name which appears to work the same (from a coding perspective).

Even if you're using a different module, you may still find the technique applicable. If not, let us know what you are using.
