Formatting Shell script output to Excel
I am facing a problem formatting the output of my shell script in excel.
We are directing the output of the script to an excel sheet and need long integer type data printed in Excel as it is (i.e. not in the default scientific notation).
Also, leading zeroes(if any) in the output are getting truncated in the excel file.

For example:

Output of the shell script: 012310004594882
Current output from Excel: 1.231E+13
Desired output in Excel sheet: 012310004594882

Could someone help me with this.
I am using ksh.

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.
