- asjo 14y agoYou got any links?
- pasbesoin 14y agoAt a glance https://www.google.com/#q=perl+excel https://www.google.com/#q=perl+excel seems to surface both a bunch of links from the beginning of the last decade, and some current stuff. I would be more familiar with the former, so it may be best to form your own opinion on the current state of things. But I'm commenting here, to the effect that there is much information readily available. P.S. At least of a decade ago, it helped to have a good understanding of Excel and its programmatic interface. One or more Perl modules made it easy to call into this interface, but you still needed to know what was available and what it would do.
- pasbesoin 14y agoYeah, I was doing that well over a decade ago. At that time, I found it most convenient to use Perl for some things, e.g. condensing a "ton" of raw data down into an Excel representation, and VBA for others (manipulating extant worksheets/workbooks). I also wrote a object-oriented API wrapper in VBA. VBA's fine for doing real work, when you're in the MS Office environment -- or when you have a "plain Jane" Windows machine with no ability/authority to add another toolset.
