"...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:
-
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.
-
Perl core modules — you can navigate here from the previous link.
-
MetaCPAN — Perl CPAN modules.
-
Super Search on this site.
-
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.

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.
