in reply to Win32 Perl and writing to Excel Workbooks

If switching to Spreadsheet::WriteExcel is an option then you should be able to use the write_url method to insert a hyperlink. From the doc:
$worksheet->write_url('A3', 'http://www.perl.com/', $format);

    I looked at that... And I don't think it will suit my application as I am writing the results of an SQL query
    from a database and it was easier to write the results out with SQL as well rather than calcing the cells.

    I was wondering if there was a hidden character used to indicate a link and if so what it was. Or else how the link is formatted
