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

thanks,

Mike

  Spreadsheet::ParseExcel::Simple is the simplest module to use. Very user 
friendly. I use it often.

        Hello,

        we need to extract data from uploaded Excel spreadsheets, XLS binary
        files. 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.

    Thanks for the help

    Mike
