You are correct. Win32::OLE most probably won't work with code written
for Spread***::{Parse,Write}Excel.

Do you know if Spread***::ParseExcel can work on Windows without
using
Win32::OLE?


I've had no experience with Spread***::ParseExcel outside of Linux.
However, there is a 99% + 1% chance that Spread***::ParseExcel has no
dependency upon Win32::OLE since Win32::OLE only works under Windows,
and Spread***::ParseExcel doesn't only work under Windows.


My original question stated the I was trying to parse an existing Excel
file and all of the exmples I have seem to specify using on Win32:OLE
for Windows or Spreadsheet_ParseExcel on UNIX/Linux.


It sounds like your main problem is lack of access to the documentation
for Spread***::ParseExcel:

http://search.cpan.org/~kwitknr/Spread***-ParseExcel-0.2603/ParseExcel.pm


No, I think her real problem is she doesn't know Perl and she's trying
to hack things together from examples on the web in the hopes something
miraculous will come of it (probably examples that pre-date the
ParseExcel module, from the sound of it). She should take a couple of
steps back and learn some basic Perl (like how to determine if a
variable is defined).
