fyi - this is off topic since it does not have anything to do with mod_perl in particular. you should really ask on: news://comp.lang.perl.modules
or one of the other newsgroups: news://comp.lang.perl.moderated news://comp.lang.perl.misc or on this helpful website: http://www.perlmonks.org/ when you ask a question like "are there any modules", think http://search.cpan.org/ one of the best things about perl, is this site and the well organized set of modules that exist on it. a simple search for 'excel' brought up this likely candidate for your use: http://search.cpan.org/doc/KWITKNR/Spreadsheet-ParseExcel-0.2403/ParseExcel.pm good luck and enjoy perl! cliff Ian wrote: > The campus phone system has a 911 database that is in Microsoft Excel > format, and they want to be able to take that information, and show > it on a webpage, either via a search form, or in one big table.
