I like Spreadsheet::ParseExcel, and I'd like still more to do
spreadsheet-ish things with a spreadsheet. I even bought a copy of MS
Office for my Mac laptop. The existence of this product demonstrates
that MS is perfectly able to port their stuff to *n*x using a GUI
vastly different from their usual one.
Anyhow, that date math thing is pretty annoying, too. I bumped into
it at work. :P OTOH, I have work, so I'm not complaining :)
Cheers,
D
