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.
