First, let me thank you for a really excellent and useful book.

Do you have any suggestions for parsing MS Excel workbooks and the
contained-therein worksheets?
I've just installed Spreadsheet:arseExcel, but the documentation is very
sparse.
Thanks,
Tom K.

Thank you very much.

I'm lucky enough not to have to deal with Microsoft file formats very
frequently. On the few occasions that I've had to extract data from Excel
files, I've always saved the file in CSV format first.

Or, if you have questions on using Spreadsheet:arseExcel, it might be worth
contacting the author.

Sorry I can't be any more help.
