Yes this seem quiet easy to use also. I must have missed this one while browsing through CPAN's site.

What is the best perl module to accomplish this with ?? Updated yesterday, Spreadsheet::ParseExcel Put 'excel' into the box at http://search.cpan.org/ and you may find others, like Spreadsheet::DataFromExcel Thanks Owen. I was reading through that module but wanted to find something bit simpler to use, like the DataFromExcel or Excel2Text then work with the exported data. Think we'll do some testing and see which one will suite our need.
