That's an interesting way of doing it, and I prefer the fact the data is fixed closer to the source.... I do use my Parsing module (which does use Spreadsheet::ParseExcel) for some stuff other than extraction to XML, so this is probably worth doing. I think I'll integrate my daft special case fixes with this Formatter class and call it Correct. It's probably also worth looking at putting in some code to display dates as "dd mmm yyyy" or "YYYY-MM-DD" too....
cheers!

Kids, you tried your hardest, and you failed miserably. The lesson is: Never try.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
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).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
