in reply to How some people live without Perl
One of my favorite Excel features is the 'Web Query' thingy.
It's like LWP in that it will fetch a remote web page, but
it actually 'tabulates' the contents. It is a very easy task
to grab a page that contains tabular data and export the
results to CSV. Not bad. Most of the time i'll use
gnumeric if i need
a spreadsheet. I haven't confirmed if it has this capability
or not, though. If it does, kiss my Excel days goodbye. ;)
