Re: OLE Excel.Application Vs Spreadsheet::WriteExcel

I've successfully used Spreadsheet::WriteExcel in production for years. I swear by it in fact. It's a simple install from CPAN so give it a whirl.

Vek, Thanks for the reply. My requirement is to generate the excel files with calculated data and graph on Unix based system. Also I have to call Crystal Reports from the same Perl code. Can we use OLE Microsoft Excel in this scenario ? Please sugest...	[reply]

I don't have any experience of OLE Microsoft Excel to be honest. I'm confused though, isn't Crystal Reports a Windows based reporting tool? Are you going to run your excel generator on a Windows box or a Unix box?	[reply]

Hi Vek, Crystal report is windows and unix compatible reporting tool. And I want to run my excel generator on unix box + I want to run/execute crystal reports in the same box. Can you put some more light on this?	[reply]
