lupey has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hello monks,

I'm about to start a small consulting job with a company that needs ~400 excel documents parsed. Rather than spend my time opening each document and manually saving it as "text", I've heard of Excel modules such as Spreadsheet-ParseExcel but I know little about how well they work. I'd like a module that is popular with the Perl community and one that is actively being maintained. If it makes a difference, I do most of my Perl scripting on Cygwin. Any suggestions?

Thank you
