NAME

       Spreadsheet::XLSX - Perl extension for reading MS Excel 2007 files;

SYNOPSIS

        use Text::Iconv;
        my $converter = Text::Iconv -> new ("utf-8", "windows-1251");

        # Text::Iconv is not really required.
        # This can be any object with the convert method. Or nothing.

        use Spreadsheet::XLSX;

        my $excel = Spreadsheet::XLSX -> new ('test.xlsx', $converter);

        foreach my $sheet (@{$excel -> {Worksheet}}) {

               printf("Sheet: %s\n", $sheet->{Name});

               $sheet -> {MaxRow} ||= $sheet -> {MinRow};

                foreach my $row ($sheet -> {MinRow} .. $sheet -> {MaxRow}) {

                       $sheet -> {MaxCol} ||= $sheet -> {MinCol};

                       foreach my $col ($sheet -> {MinCol} ..  $sheet -> {MaxCol}) {

                               my $cell = $sheet -> {Cells} [$row] [$col];

                               if ($cell) {
                                   printf("( %s , %s ) => %s\n", $row, $col, $cell -> {Val});
                               }

                       }

               }

        }

DESCRIPTION

       This module is a (quick and dirty) emulation of Spreadsheet::ParseExcel for Excel 2007
       (.xlsx) file format.  It supports styles and many of Excel's quirks, but not all.  It
       populates the classes from Spreadsheet::ParseExcel for interoperability; including
       Workbook, Worksheet, and Cell.

       Spreadsheet::Perl
         http://search.cpan.org/~nkh/ offers a Pure Perl implementation of a spreadsheet engine.
         Users that want this format to be supported in Spreadsheet::Read are hereby motivated to
         offer patches. It's not high on my todo-list.

       xls2csv
         http://search.cpan.org/~ken/ offers an alternative for my "xlscat -c", in the xls2csv
         tool, but this tool focusses on character encoding transparency, and requires some other
         modules.
