It's completely the wrong approach for this list, but the book __ spends
time showing how to do exactly this sort of thing with Python on Win32.
<http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/pythonwin32/>
A lot of the details are in chapter 12, which happens to be the one that
is available on the book's web site:
<http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/pythonwin32/chapter/ch12.html>
Other chapters, e.g. chapter 9, "Integration with Excel", might be a
gentler approach to the topic, but you'll need a copy of the book to
look over that material.
Granted, this approach has nothing to do with Perl, but having toyed
around with some of the examples from this book, they did more or lss
work well, and it wasn't unpleasant to do, overall. Get your head around
this and, if you have to write in Perl, you may then know how best to
proceed -- or you can just leave it in Python and go do more interesting
things.
