Quoth Mike <mikee@xxxxxxxxxxxx>:
I want to create a file on linux that is pushed over an apache
connection that excel can open, read, process, etc. This file
is full of monthly project, time *** type data. I suppose I
could use the Visual Basic for Application, but I'd rather not.
Is there some way to generate a file on linux that contains
formulas, formatting, etc, that can be read by Excel?

Spread***::WriteExcel

I thought of Spread***::WriteExcel before I posted, but didn't
check it out first. I had it in my head that Spread***::WriteExcel
would not work on linux, only on Windows.

I use Spreadsheet::WriteExcel on a Solaris system to create spreadsheets
served from an Apache server to be downloaded on Windows clients, and
it works very well.
