in reply to Re: Two issues with XLSX reporting
in thread Two issues with XLSX reporting

issues are: without adjusting '&', I will get a warning notification and the url won't work in the Excel. the email attachment won't work at all for my configurations with MIME::Lite. I am using perl 5.8.8 (servers are RHEL 5.8 or 6.2). Excel::Writer::XLSX version 0.51, MIME::Lite version 3.027. A sample is shown below, many thanks.

#!/usr/bin/perl use strict; use warnings; use Excel::Writer::XLSX; use MIME::Lite; my $report_file = 'hyperlink.xlsx'; # Create a new workbook and add a worksheet my $workbook = Excel::Writer::XLSX->new($report_file); my $worksheet = $workbook->add_worksheet('Hyperlinks'); # Add the standard url link format. my $url_format = $workbook->add_format( color => 'blue', underline => 1, ); $worksheet->write( 'A1', 'Some Content'); $worksheet->write( 'A3', 'http://www.perl.com/?a=1&b=2', $url_format, +'Perl home with query string' ); $workbook->close(); my $msg = MIME::Lite->new( From => 'noreply@example.com', To => 'you@example.com', Subject => "Testing Report - 2012-09-27", Type => 'multipart/mixed' ); $msg->attach( Type => 'text/plain', Data => 'This is a testing email', ); $msg->attach( #Type => 'AUTO', #Type => 'application/vnd.ms-excel', Type => 'application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.spre +adsheetml.sheet', Path => $report_file, Disposition => 'attachment', ); $msg->send(); __END__
