in reply to How some people live without Perl

One of my favorite Excel features is the 'Web Query' thingy. It's like LWP in that it will fetch a remote web page, but it actually 'tabulates' the contents. It is a very easy task to grab a page that contains tabular data and export the results to CSV. Not bad. Most of the time i'll use gnumeric if i need a spreadsheet. I haven't confirmed if it has this capability or not, though. If it does, kiss my Excel days goodbye. ;)
