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

Hi Monks,

I am generating an excel file based on the data from my table. The record exceeded more than 70,000. But, when i create excel using Spreadsheet::WriteExcel i cannot able to create records more than 65,536. Since my client using latest windows excel he is expecting all the records having more than 70,000. Can any one please throw me some modules or ideas to proceed ?

Please see below sample code:

use Spreadsheet::WriteExcel; # Create a new Excel workbook my ($col, $row); $col = $row = 0; my $workbook = Spreadsheet::WriteExcel->new('perl1.xls'); # Add a worksheet my $worksheet = $workbook->add_worksheet("test"); for (0..70000) { $worksheet->write($_, $col, "Testing"); } $workbook->close();
