G'day DyslexicHobo, Welcome to the monastery. I've coded those sorts of tasks in Perl so it's certainly possible to do; I can't make any claims about whether it will be faster. For various tasks, you'll find there's different modules for *.xls and *.xlsx spreadsheets, e.g. Spreadsheet::ParseExcel (for the reading the older format) and Spreadsheet::XLSX (for the newer format). There's a tutorial (with a lot of follow-up information) that may address many of your initial questions: Using Win32::OLE and Excel - Tips and Tricks. -- Ken In reply to Re: New to Perl - is it a better language than VB for this application?
