If you want to write to a scalar instead of a file I
can send you a patch (it will be in the next version) that will let you do this:
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use IO::Scalar;
use Spreadsheet::WriteExcel;
my $xls_str;
tie *XLS, 'IO::Scalar', \$xls_str;
my $workbook = Spreadsheet::WriteExcel->new(\*XLS);
my $worksheet = $workbook->addworksheet();
$worksheet->write(0, 0, "Hi Excel!");
$workbook->close();
# The Excel file is now in $xls_str.
or to some other filehandle like this:
my $workbook = Spreadsheet::WriteExcel->new(\*STDOUT);
John.

And the eighth and final rule, if this is your first time using Perl, you will have to write code.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
