The data is being produced from a 'table' so must be put into some form that is acceptable to Excel. If this format can not be generated such that Excel understands it as required (and the old module can generate it like that) then agreed you can not use cvs. However as I don't know what format is required I felt it was a reasonable suggestion. From my experience of extracting data from DBs for import into Excel spreadsheets (thankfully limited!) cvs has worked reasonably well. This was only company internal though, so if you have external clients it could be more of a problem. But the new modules seem as though they will address the problem, so all's well.

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).
