I don't believe there is a module that allows arbitrary editing of an Excel spreadsheet (but I have not done an exhaustive search of CPAN for one in a while). Spreadsheet::ParseExcel allows you to read an existing file and Spreadsheet::WriteExcel allows you yo write a new file. The only way I know of to create the illusion of an arbitrary edit is to use both together to copy the data from the old file to a new file making changes as needed, unlink'ing the old file, and rename'ing the new file to the old file's name. Well, that isn't 100% true; if you are on a Windows machine that has Excel installed you can use Win32::OLE to make Excel make your changes for you. -- Chas.
