Spreadsheet::WriteExcel (Score:1)

by pjm (639) on 2007.02.04 17:43 (#53036)

I think you should look more closely at Spreadsheet::WriteExcel before cranking up a new project: it can certainly do some of the things that you claim it lacks. For example, to write an internal link (to a sheet called $s_name using format $format)...

my $contents = $ss->sheets(0);
$contents->write($row,$col,"internal:$s_name!A1",$s_name,$format);

It can also write simple formulas with ease (see the documentation). Pivot tables and autofilter aren't available however (the latter is on the TODO list), unless something's changed *very* recently.
