Using the following line:
print "Content-type: application/vnd.ms-excel", "\n\n";
will force anything viewed in IE to open via Excel.
It can be used like so:
#!/usr/bin/perl
open TABBED_FILE,"your_tabbed_file.txt";# or die "cant open tabbed fil
+e $!";
@data = <TABBED_FILE>;
close TABBED_FILE;
print "Content-type: application/vnd.ms-excel", "\n\n";
print "Col A\tCol B\Col C\n";
foreach $line(@data)
{ my ($thingA,$thingB,$thingC)=split(/\t/,$line);
print "$thingA\t$thingB\t$thingC\n";
}

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
