This also allows you to do things that SYLK does not support, such as tabbed worksheet creation.

I need to generate excel files from PL/ SQLm Java api Delphi??? You can get Spreadsheet::WriteExcel from CPAN and do something like this: #!/usr/bin/perl -w use strict; use Spreadsheet::WriteExcel; # Create a new Excel workbook my $workbook = Spreadsheet::WriteExcel->new("perl.xls"); # Add a worksheet $worksheet = $workbook->add_worksheet(); # Add and define a format $format = $workbook->add_format(); # Add a format $format->set_bold(); $format->set_color('red'); $format->set_align('center'); # Write a formatted and unformatted string, row and column notation. $col = $row = 0; $worksheet->write($row, $col, "Hi Excel!", $format); $worksheet->write(1, $col, "Hi Excel!"); # Write a number and a formula using A1 notation $worksheet->write('A3', 1.2345); $worksheet->write('A4', '=SIN(PI()/4)'); Combined with DBI, I can write any spreadsheet I want and have crontab execute and email that for me. The other thing to do to a person who wants excel spreadsheets would be this: $PHB=recipient\@company.com dd if=/dev/zero bs=64k count=65536k|gzip|dd of=/tmp/report.xls.gz uuencode /tmp/report.xls.gz report.xls.gz|mailx -s "My Report" $PHB This would create a 40GB file (consisting of binary nulls) compressed into < 10kb. There is no excel spreadsheet produced by Ms which will not crash while attemting to open it. If the workstation is NT 4.0, it will get BSOD, the only application that hasn't changed since the advent of Windows.
