[ This package was already suggested by racke@linuxia.de (Stefan Hornburg)
in WNPP bug report #98136. In case Stefan does not want to upload the
package, I would be happy to upload mine. Otherwise it is his. ]
I have the following package ready and lintian-clean (TM). Unless I hear
objections, I intend to upload it onto master in the next few days. In the
meantime, the package can be gotten from

The Spreadsheet::WriteExcel module can be used to create a cross-
platform Excel binary file. Multiple worksheets can be added to a
workbook and formatting can be applied to cells. Text, numbers,
formulas and hyperlinks can be written to the cells.
.
The Excel file produced by this module is compatible with Excel 5,
95, 97 and 2000.

The module will work on the majority of Windows, UNIX and
Macintosh platforms. Generated files are also compatible with the
Linux/UNIX spreadsheet applications OpenOffice, Gnumeric and XESS.
The generated files are not compatible with MS Access.
