Hello Aberardo,

Yes, you can do this using Perl, we've done something similar here.

There's two ways of doing this using CPAN modules, fortunately someone else
has already done the hard work of figuring out Excel's file format. You can:

1. Use DBI by downloading the driver for Excel, called DBD::Excel (N.B.
You'll need to download and install DBI first, if you haven't already). This
allows you database-like access to an Excel spreadsheet.

2. Use Spreadsheet::WriteExcel to write an Excel file format.

The documentation with both these modules is pretty good and they should
install without any problems on most platforms.

Hope this helps.
