Spreadsheet::XLSX(3)

NAME
Spreadsheet::XLSX - Perl extension for reading MS Excel 2007 files;

SYNOPSIS
 use Text::Iconv;
 my $converter = Text::Iconv -> new ("utf-8", "windows-1251");

 # Text::Iconv is not really required.
 # This can be any object with the convert method. Or nothing.

 use Spreadsheet::XLSX;

 my $excel = Spreadsheet::XLSX -> new ('test.xlsx', $converter);

 foreach my $sheet (@{$excel -> {Worksheet}}) {

        printf("Sheet: %s\n", $sheet->{Name});

        $sheet -> {MaxRow} ||= $sheet -> {MinRow};

         foreach my $row ($sheet -> {MinRow} .. $sheet -> {MaxRow}) {

                $sheet -> {MaxCol} ||= $sheet -> {MinCol};

                foreach my $col ($sheet -> {MinCol} ..  $sheet -> {MaxCol}) {

                        my $cell = $sheet -> {Cells} [$row] [$col];

                        if ($cell) {
                            printf("( %s , %s ) => %s\n", $row, $col, $cell -> {Val});
                        }

                }

        }

 }

DESCRIPTION
This module is a (quick and dirty) emulation of Spreadsheet::ParseExcel for Excel 2007 (.xlsx) file format. It supports styles and many of Excel's quirks, but not all. It populates the classes from Spreadsheet::ParseExcel for interoperability; including Workbook, Worksheet, and Cell.

Spreadsheet::Perl
    http://search.cpan.org/~nkh/ offers a Pure Perl implementation of a spreadsheet engine. Users that want this format to be supported in Spreadsheet::Read are hereby motivated to offer patches. It's not high on my todo-list.

xls2csv
    http://search.cpan.org/~ken/ offers an alternative for my "xlscat -c", in the xls2csv tool, but this tool focusses on character encoding transparency, and requires some other modules.
