Need Help??

jimijq has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

After using ParseExcel for 14 months, I've finally encountered an .xls file with a password. How do I open/parse it? I see no mention of passwords in ParseExcel.pm or its documentation. Jim Fox

jimijq, I see no mention of passwords in ParseExcel.pm or its documentation. Perhaps you missed the TODO section where it states this is unimplemented. Unfortunately, I do not believe this module is being actively maintained. One option on a Win32 machine is to use Win32::OLE but I do not have an example for you. Cheers - L~R	[reply]

If you are talking of Spreadsheet::ParseExcel, password protected data is not supported for now. It's on "To do" section. Solli Moreira Honorio Sao Paulo - Brazil	[reply]
