This weekend, I released Excel::Template v0.01 to CPAN. It's a module with the same API as HTML::Template, but creates Excel spreadsheets (using jmcnamara's Spreadsheet::WriteExcel as the renderer). Right now, only a few features are supported, but more are on the way. I wanted to release a basic version so that I could get comments/suggestions quicker.
Features supported:

Since this is my first CPAN module, I'd also love to have comments regarding how I did the packaging and POD. (I know I forgot to change the README ... that's first on the list to do.) I also was at a loss as to how to write the tests. In my rewrite of PDF::Template, I wrote a mockup of pdflib_pl and tested my calls to that module, but there were only some 15 functions used. I'm using more in Spreadsheet::WriteExcel ... can the same method apply? Or, am I missing something really simple? ------
