Not exactly true, other things besides Excel can produce "Excel files". I've done so in PERL scripts many times before using this:
http://search.cpan.org/search?dist=S...eet-WriteExcel
If you're writing something to produce a "|" delimeted file and then converting the "|" character to something else, why not produce the file with that other character to begin with?
If it's a "text" file and is "|" or comma delimeted or whatever, emailing it form a shell script is pretty straight-forward:
cat your_file.txt | mail -s "Here's that CSV file for you"
any@body.com

Spreadsheet::XLSX(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation Spreadsheet::XLSX(3pm)
NAME
Spreadsheet::XLSX - Perl extension for reading MS Excel 2007 files;
SYNOPSIS
use Text::Iconv;
my $converter = Text::Iconv -> new ("utf-8", "windows-1251");
# Text::Iconv is not really required.
# This can be any object with the convert method. Or nothing.
use Spreadsheet::XLSX;
my $excel = Spreadsheet::XLSX -> new ('test.xlsx', $converter);
foreach my $sheet (@{$excel -> {Worksheet}}) {
printf("Sheet: %s
", $sheet->{Name});
$sheet -> {MaxRow} ||= $sheet -> {MinRow};
foreach my $row ($sheet -> {MinRow} .. $sheet -> {MaxRow}) {
$sheet -> {MaxCol} ||= $sheet -> {MinCol};
foreach my $col ($sheet -> {MinCol} .. $sheet -> {MaxCol}) {
my $cell = $sheet -> {Cells} [$row] [$col];
if ($cell) {
printf("( %s , %s ) => %s
", $row, $col, $cell -> {Val});
}
}
}
}
DESCRIPTION
This module is a (quick and dirty) emulation of Spreadsheet::ParseExcel for Excel 2007 (.xlsx) file format. It supports styles and many of
Excel's quirks, but not all. It populates the classes from Spreadsheet::ParseExcel for interoperability; including Workbook, Worksheet,
and Cell.
