There's not quite enough information here to know what your best option would be, but there are a couple of options. My first instinct would be to collect the information to a CSV file and manually import it to excel. There are a couple of CPAN packages that might be helpful. I know there's a cgi script floating around the web somewhere that writes CSV files based on form data, because a friend of mine uses it. You should be able to find it using google. As is always the case with scripts from the web, you'll want to look at it carefully to make sure that it's secure. If this won't work for you there are a couple other options. If you're on a Windows system you can use the Win32::OLE package to access Excel's COM interface. It has been a while since I did automation on the Mac, but I think the Office products have a pretty complete Applescript interface, and you should be able to invoke Applescript from MacPerl. And there's a CPAN module for writing Excel files. But if it will serve your purposes the CSV method is bound to be much easier. To find the CPAN modules that relate to CSV files and Excel search on those terms (within your browser) at: http://www.perl.com/CPAN/modules/00modlist.long.html Tagore Smith -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
