  Description     : Transparently reads any spreadsheet and returns its content independently of parsing algorithm.

  Spreadsheet::Read tries to transparently read *any* spreadsheet and
  return its content in a universal manner independent of the parsing
  module that does the actual spreadsheet scanning.

  For OpenOffice this module uses Spreadsheet::ReadSXC
  For Excel this module uses Spreadsheet::ParseExcel

  For CSV this module uses Text::CSV_XS (0.29 or up prefered) or
  Text_PP (1.05 or up required).

  For SquirrelCalc there is a very simplistic built-in parse

  There is lots of good information on the homepage for this module.
