I have to automate an excel file, I have already checked Win32:OLE, just wanted to check if there are some other ways apart from that to achieve similar functionality.
Thanks in advance!

If you want to parse excel try this module Spreadsheet::ParseXLSX and when you are trying to write something onto excel try this module Spreadsheet::WriteExcel and for reading try this module Spreadsheet::ReadPraveen– Praveen2015-02-16 06:06:36 +00:00Commented Feb 16, 2015 at 6:06

You could also resort to vb script/vba called through the scripting host (cscript.exe). Create an excel application object and use that as the entry point to the excel object model.collapsar– collapsar2015-02-16 08:07:50 +00:00Commented Feb 16, 2015 at 8:07

Cpan module Spreadsheet::ParseExcel is a tool to read information from an Excel file. An example is here :
use warnings;
use strict;
use Spreadsheet::ParseExcel;
my $parser = Spreadsheet::ParseExcel->new();
my $workbook = $parser->parse('Book1.xls');
if ( !defined $workbook ) {
die $parser->error(), ".\n";
}
for my $worksheet ( $workbook->worksheets() ) {
my ( $row_min, $row_max ) = $worksheet->row_range();
my ( $col_min, $col_max ) = $worksheet->col_range();
for my $row ( $row_min .. $row_max ) {
for my $col ( $col_min .. $col_max ) {
my $cell = $worksheet->get_cell( $row, $col );
next unless $cell;
print "Row, Col = ($row, $col)\n";
print "Value = ", $cell->value(), "\n";
print "Unformatted = ", $cell->unformatted(), "\n";
print "\n";
}
}
}
