Yes. I also am using phpMyAdmin for some queries, but I am actually looking to create a cron job that will run a monthly report and e-mail the resulting Excel file to a couple of individuals. I am able to do all of this manually at this time, but I would really like to automate the process if possible. This is also a great learning opportunity and I think that I will have more requests in the future for generating Excel reports of this nature.

You can easily accomplish that by dumpin into a CSV (comma separated file) with .csv extension which will open in excel as you want.

I have a MySQL database that I have a few Perl scripts working on. I am now looking into doing some reporting on these database tables. I would really like to find a script that queries the database and the uses the Spreadsheet::WriteExcel module to output the data directly to an Excel file. Does anyone out there have something like this that I could cannibalize? Thanks in advance.
