            I have a directory which has output reports in them. The big problem is that they are just a bunch of letters and numbers like 2781424330fdac47c916.xls. So the user would like a more recognizable file name.

            This is to run on Solaris w/ Perl 5.8.3. I have tried the following two modules on my PC using ActiveState 5.8.3 under XP:
             Spread***::ParseExcel ( 15 minutes plus to read 4 files size 4 to 12 meg) and Spread***::ParseExcel::Simple ( 4 minutes for the same files as ParseExcel )

            I am running my first test on Solaris using Simple and the first file took 5 minutes to process. Still have 3 to do.

             Any suggestions on what to do? The key for naming the file is ( believe it or not ) the last column of the first row on work*** 1.

    Any questions and/or problems, please let me know.

            Thanks!

    Wags ;)
