"...so, may be perl can do excel stuff too?"

It sure can. Search MetaCPAN for Excel and CSV.

A module I use often, in a commercial environment, is Text::CSV. If you choose to use that, I'd recommend installing Text::CSV_XS also, as it will make Text::CSV run faster.

"Lemme check that on google."

When searching for anything related to Perl, I generally follow this order:

  1. Perl core documentation — that's extensive so I'd suggest starting with perlintro just to get your feet wet; it's peppered with links to additional information, advanced topics, and the like, which should give you a feel for the documentation layout.
  2. Perl core modules — you can navigate here from the previous link.
  3. MetaCPAN — Perl CPAN modules.
  4. Super Search on this site.
  5. A general Internet search. Search engine results typically show links with the most hits first; unfortunately, that means they tend to be older and, therefore, less up-to-date. This is usually a last resort for me; although, just yesterday, I found "Perl/Tk Transparent Icons" (13 years old, and I needed to adapt some older instructions for more recent software, but it got the job done in the end).

That's a non-exhaustive list; it's really intended as a starting set of guidelines for you. I have lots of other Perl-related bookmarks that I use as appropriate; you'll no doubt build up an equivalent set geared towards your needs and interests.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • 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.
