I think, something like this, but I'm unable to test it:

Code:
#!/usr/bin/perl

use Excel::Writer::XLSX;

my $in=shift;
my $pass=shift;

my $workbook=Excel::Writer::XLSX->new( $in );
$workbook->protect($pass);
$workbook->close();

You put that in a file, set it executable, and run it like
Code:
./protect.pl filename.xls 'password'

If text is not specified, a complete email message is read from STDIN. from is the email address of the sender and to is the email address of the recipient. When a complete email is read from STDIN, from and to are only used in the SMTP negotiation, the message headers are not modified. Whenever you pass arguments to calibre-smtp that have spaces in them, enclose the arguments in quotation marks. OPTIONS
