Win32::Process works, but I'd have to know the full path to excel.exe.
That's not hard to find.
use File::Spec;
sub find_in_path {
my $prog = shift;
my $fmm;
for my $d (File::Spec->path()) {
$fnm = File::Spec->catfile($d,$prog);
last if -x fnm;
$fnm = undef;
}
return $fnm;
}
my $excel = find_in_path('excel.exe');

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.
