As a rule of thumb, only Excel understands Excel. All Microsoft trumpeted about open document formats was pure baloney -- it's still a proprietary binary blob, wrapped in an open container format but still a proprietary binary blob.

excel::writer::xlsx::package::packager
Excel::Writer::XLSX::Package::Packager(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation Excel::Writer::XLSX::Package::Packager(3pm)
NAME
Packager - A class for creating the Excel XLSX package.
SYNOPSIS
See the documentation for Excel::Writer::XLSX.
DESCRIPTION
This module is used in conjunction with Excel::Writer::XLSX to create an Excel XLSX container file.
From Wikipedia: The Open Packaging Conventions (OPC) is a container-file technology initially created by Microsoft to store a combination
of XML and non-XML files that together form a single entity such as an Open XML Paper Specification (OpenXPS) document.
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_Packaging_Conventions>.
At its simplest an Excel XLSX file contains the following elements:
____ [Content_Types].xml
|
|____ docProps
| |____ app.xml
| |____ core.xml
|
|____ xl
| |____ workbook.xml
| |____ worksheets
| | |____ sheet1.xml
| |
| |____ styles.xml
| |
| |____ theme
| | |____ theme1.xml
| |
| |_____rels
| |____ workbook.xml.rels
|
|_____rels
|____ .rels
The "Excel::Writer::XLSX::Package::Packager" class co-ordinates the classes that represent the elements of the package and writes them into
the XLSX file.
