A software that facilitates the creation of customizable Excel files through predefined templates is offered to users. The tool streamlines the process of building spreadsheets for varied purposes, without the need for extensive knowledge of Excel formulas and functions.
The Excel::Template module is a specialized software tool designed for templating Excel files in Perl. This tool was developed to address the common problem of needing to use the same data structure as HTML::Template, but requiring Excel files instead. Unlike existing modules, which demand a replication of logic already performed in HTML::Template, Excel::Template presents a more streamlined solution.
The tool operates in a simple and intuitive way. First, a template file is created, which defines the layout of the spreadsheet in XML format. Once the template is prepared, the user can create a small program to generate the desired output. A sample program code is provided in the tool's documentation, showing how to use Excel::Template in your Perl script.
With Excel::Template, users can easily add parameters to the template and manipulate them as needed. For example, a simple program could add environment variables to a template, then write the filled-in template to an Excel spreadsheet.
Overall, Excel::Template is an efficient and user-friendly solution for generating complex Excel spreadsheets from templates. If you are seeking an alternative to manually building spreadsheets, this tool is well worth exploring.
