[TriLUG] Silly file format conversion

[Andrew Perrin]

Two options:

1.) Just name the file .xls (yes, you got that right) and use tab instead
of comma as the delimiter. At least as of Excel 97 (the last time I used
Excel), that opens without the import dialog.

2.) Use the Spreadsheet::WriteExcel module from CPAN:
