Hi, Can anybody tell how to open an already existing xL file and then probabaly do some processing using Win32::OLE I found quite a few examples but none of them open an existing excel file. Or is there some better module for XL processing ? Here is my code .. use strict ; use warnings ; use Win32::OLE; use Win32::OLE::Const; my $file = "Matrix.xls" ; my $ex ; eval {$ex = Win32::OLE->GetActiveObject('Excel.Application')}; die "Excel not installed" if $@; unless (defined $ex) { $ex = Win32::OLE->new($file, sub {$_[0]->Quit;}) or die "Oops, cannot start Excel"; } # get a new workbook my $book = $ex->Workbooks->Add; my $Sheet = $book->Worksheets(1); $Sheet->{Name} = 'Candle'; $book->Close;
