Hi:

    I'm writing a CGI application in PERL running on HP-UX that needs to export 
its query results to an Excel file.

    My alternatives are :
       a) export it using perl module Text::CSV, but the set the CGI headers to 
Excel via print header(-type => 'application/vnd.ms-excel');
    b) Use    Spreadsheet::WriteExcel to generate excel binary files.

    I'm inclined to use method "A" as I've used Text::CSV before, and I see 
that 
Spreadsheet::WriteExcel is dependent on module Win32::OLE (Not sure if  
Win32::OLE will work HP-UX or UNIX / Linux systems).

     Thoughts? Anybody here that used Perl CGI and Excel before? Thanks in 
advance

Regards,
Ludwig Lim
