=head1 DESCRIPTION

Spreadsheet::Read tries to transparently read *any* spreadsheet and
return its content in a universal manner independent of the parsing
module that does the actual spreadsheet scanning.

For OpenOffice and/or LibreOffice this module uses
L<Spreadsheet::ReadSXC|https://metacpan.org/release/Spreadsheet-ReadSXC>

For Microsoft Excel this module uses
L<Spreadsheet::ParseExcel|https://metacpan.org/release/Spreadsheet-ParseExcel>,
L<Spreadsheet::ParseXLSX|https://metacpan.org/release/Spreadsheet-ParseXLSX>, or
L<Spreadsheet::XLSX|https://metacpan.org/release/Spreadsheet-XLSX> (stronly
discouraged).

For CSV this module uses L<Text::CSV_XS|https://metacpan.org/release/Text-CSV_XS>
or L<Text::CSV_PP|https://metacpan.org/release/Text-CSV_PP>.

For SquirrelCalc there is a very simplistic built-in parser

=head2 Data structure

The data is returned as an array reference:

  $book = [
      # Entry 0 is the overall control hash
      { sheets  => 2,
        sheet   => {
          "Sheet 1"  => 1,
          "Sheet 2"  => 2,
          },
        parsers => [ {
            type    => "xls",
            parser  => "Spreadsheet::ParseExcel",
            version => 0.59,
            }],
        error   => undef,
        },
      # Entry 1 is the first sheet
      { parser  => 0,
        label   => "Sheet 1",
        maxrow  => 2,
        maxcol  => 4,
        cell    => [ undef,
          [ undef, 1 ],
          [ undef, undef, undef, undef, undef, "Nugget" ],
          ],
        attr    => [],
        merged  => [],
        active  => 1,
        A1      => 1,
        B5      => "Nugget",
        },
      # Entry 2 is the second sheet
      { parser  => 0,
        label   => "Sheet 2",
        :
        :

To keep as close contact to spreadsheet users, row and column 1 have
index 1 too in the C<cell> element of the sheet hash, so cell "A1" is
the same as C<cell> [1, 1] (column first). To switch between the two,
there are helper functions available: C<cell2cr ()>, C<cr2cell ()>,
and C<col2label ()>.

The C<cell> hash entry contains unformatted data, while the hash entries
with the traditional labels contain the formatted values (if applicable).

The control hash (the first entry in the returned array ref), contains
some spreadsheet meta-data. The entry C<sheet> is there to be able to find
the sheets when accessing them by name:

  my %sheet2 = %{$book->[$book->[0]{sheet}{"Sheet 2"}]};

=head2 Formatted vs Unformatted

The difference between formatted and unformatted cells is that the (optional)
format is applied to the cell or not. This part is B<completely> implemented
on the parser side. Spreadsheet::Read just makes both available if these are
supported. Options provide means to disable either. If the parser does not
provide formatted cells - like CSV - both values are equal.

To show what this implies:

 use Spreadsheet::Read;

 my $file     = "files/example.xlsx";
 my $workbook = Spreadsheet::Read->new ($file);

 my $info     = $workbook->[0];
 say "Parsed $file with $info->{parser}-$info->{version}";

 my $sheet    = $workbook->sheet (1);

 say join "\t" => "Formatted:",   $sheet->row     (1);
 say join "\t" => "Unformatted:", $sheet->cellrow (1);

Might return very different results depending one the underlying parser (and
its version):

 Parsed files/example.xlsx with Spreadsheet::ParseXLSX-0.27
 Formatted:      8-Aug   Foo & Barr < Quux
 Unformatted:    39668   Foo & Barr < Quux

 Parsed files/example.xlsx with Spreadsheet::XLSX-0.15
 Formatted:      39668   Foo &amp; Barr &lt; Quux
 Unformatted:    39668   Foo &amp; Barr &lt; Quux

=head2 Functions and methods

=head3 new

 my $book = Spreadsheet::Read->new (...) or die $@;

All options accepted by ReadData are accepted by new.

With no arguments at all, $book will be an object where sheets can be added
using C<add>

 my $book = Spreadsheet::Read->new ();
 $book->add ("file.csv");
 $book->add ("file.cslx");

=head3 ReadData

 my $book = ReadData ($source [, option => value [, ... ]]);

 my $book = ReadData ("file.csv", sep => ',', quote => '"');

 my $book = ReadData ("file.xls", dtfmt => "yyyy-mm-dd");

 my $book = ReadData ("file.ods");

 my $book = ReadData ("file.sxc");

 my $book = ReadData ("content.xml");

 my $book = ReadData ($content);

 my $book = ReadData ($content,  parser => "xlsx");

 my $book = ReadData ($fh,       parser => "xlsx");

 my $book = ReadData (\$content, parser => "xlsx");

Tries to convert the given file, string, or stream to the data structure
described above.

Processing Excel data from a stream or content is supported through a
L<File::Temp|https://metacpan.org/release/File-Temp> temporary file or
L<IO::Scalar|https://metacpan.org/release/IO-Scalar> when available.

L<Spreadsheet::ReadSXC|https://metacpan.org/release/Spreadsheet-ReadSXC>
does preserve sheet order as of version 0.20.

Choosing between C<$content> and C<\\$content> (with or without passing
the desired C<parser> option) may be depending on trial and terror.
C<ReadData> does try to determine parser type on content if needed, but
not all combinations are checked, and not all signatures are builtin.

Currently supported options are:

=over 2

=item parser
X<parser>

Force the data to be parsed by a specific format. Possible values are
C<csv>, C<prl> (or C<perl>), C<sc> (or C<squirelcalc>), C<sxc> (or C<oo>,
C<ods>, C<openoffice>, C<libreoffice>) C<xls> (or C<excel>), and C<xlsx>
(or C<excel2007>).

When parsing streams, instead of files, it is highly recommended to pass
this option.

Spreadsheet::Read supports several underlying parsers per spreadsheet
type. It will try those from most favored to least favored. When you
have a good reason to prefer a different parser, you can set that in
environment variables. The other options then will not be tested for:

 env SPREADSHEET_READ_CSV=Text::CSV_PP ...

=item cells
X<cells>

Control the generation of named cells ("C<A1>" etc). Default is true.

=item rc

Control the generation of the {cell}[c][r] entries. Default is true.

=item attr

Control the generation of the {attr}[c][r] entries. Default is false.
See L</Cell Attributes> below.

=item clip

If set, L<C<ReadData>|/ReadData> will remove all trailing rows and columns
per sheet that have no data, where no data means only undefined or empty
cells (after optional stripping). If a sheet has no data at all, the sheet
will be skipped entirely when this attribute is true.

=item strip

If set, L<C<ReadData>|/ReadData> will remove trailing- and/or
leading-whitespace from every field.

  strip  leading  strailing
  -----  -------  ---------
    0      n/a      n/a
    1     strip     n/a
    2      n/a     strip
    3     strip    strip

=item pivot

Swap all rows and columns.

When a sheet contains data like

  A1  B1  C1      E1
  A2      C2  D2
  A3  B3  C3  D3  E3

using C<pivot> will return the sheet data as

  A1  A2  A3
  B1      B3
  C1  C2  C3
      D2  D3
  E1      E3

=item sep

Set separator for CSV. Default is comma C<,>.

=item quote

Set quote character for CSV. Default is C<">.

=item dtfmt

Set the format for MS-Excel date fields that are set to use the default
date format. The default format in Excel is "C<m-d-yy>", which is both
not year 2000 safe, nor very useful. The default is now "C<yyyy-mm-dd>",
which is more ISO-like.

Note that date formatting in MS-Excel is not reliable at all, as it will
store/replace/change the date field separator in already stored formats
if you change your locale settings. So the above mentioned default can
be either "C<m-d-yy>" OR "C<m/d/yy>" depending on what that specific
character happened to be at the time the user saved the file.

=item debug

Enable some diagnostic messages to STDERR.

The value determines how much diagnostics are dumped (using
L<Data::Peek|https://metacpan.org/release/Data-Peek>).  A value of C<9>
and higher will dump the entire structure from the back-end parser.

=item passwd

Use this password to decrypt password protected spreadsheet.

Currently only supports Excel.

=back

All other attributes/options will be passed to the underlying parser if
that parser supports attributes.

=head3 col2label

 my $col_id = col2label (col);

 my $col_id = $book->col2label (col);  # OO

C<col2label ()> converts a C<(column)> (1 based) to the letters used in the
traditional cell notation:

  my $id = col2label ( 4); # $id now "D"
  my $id = col2label (28); # $id now "AB"

=head3 cr2cell

 my $cell = cr2cell (col, row);

 my $cell = $book->cr2cell (col, row);  # OO

C<cr2cell ()> converts a C<(column, row)> pair (1 based) to the
traditional cell notation:

  my $cell = cr2cell ( 4, 14); # $cell now "D14"
  my $cell = cr2cell (28,  4); # $cell now "AB4"

=head3 cell2cr

 my ($col, $row) = cell2cr ($cell);

 my ($col, $row) = $book->cell2cr ($cell);  # OO

C<cell2cr ()> converts traditional cell notation to a C<(column, row)>
pair (1 based):

  my ($col, $row) = cell2cr ("D14"); # returns ( 4, 14)
  my ($col, $row) = cell2cr ("AB4"); # returns (28,  4)

=head3 row

 my @row = row ($sheet, $row)

 my @row = Spreadsheet::Read::row ($book->[1], 3);

 my @row = $book->row ($sheet, $row); # OO

Get full row of formatted values (like C<< $sheet->{A3} .. $sheet->{G3} >>)

Note that the indexes in the returned list are 0-based.

C<row ()> is not imported by default, so either specify it in the
use argument list, or call it fully qualified.

See also the C<row ()> method on sheets.

=head3 cellrow

 my @row = cellrow ($sheet, $row);

 my @row = Spreadsheet::Read::cellrow ($book->[1], 3);

 my @row = $book->cellrow ($sheet, $row); # OO

Get full row of unformatted values (like C<< $sheet->{cell}[1][3] .. $sheet->{cell}[7][3] >>)

Note that the indexes in the returned list are 0-based.

C<cellrow ()> is not imported by default, so either specify it in the
use argument list, or call it fully qualified or as method call.

See also the C<cellrow ()> method on sheets.

=head3 rows

 my @rows = rows ($sheet);

 my @rows = Spreadsheet::Read::rows ($book->[1]);

 my @rows = $book->rows (1); # OO

Convert C<{cell}>'s C<[column][row]> to a C<[row][column]> list.

Note that the indexes in the returned list are 0-based, where the
index in the C<{cell}> entry is 1-based.

C<rows ()> is not imported by default, so either specify it in the
use argument list, or call it fully qualified.

=head3 parses

 parses ($format);

 Spreadsheet::Read::parses ("CSV");

 $book->parses ("CSV"); # OO

C<parses ()> returns Spreadsheet::Read's capability to parse the
required format. L<C<ReadData>|/ReadData> will pick its preferred parser
for that format unless overruled. See L<C<parser>|/parser>.

C<parses ()> is not imported by default, so either specify it in the
use argument list, or call it fully qualified.

=head3 Version

 my $v = Version ()

 my $v = Spreadsheet::Read::Version ()

 my $v = Spreadsheet::Read->VERSION;

 my $v = $book->Version (); # OO

Returns the current version of Spreadsheet::Read.

C<Version ()> is not imported by default, so either specify it in the
use argument list, or call it fully qualified.

This function returns exactly the same as C<< Spreadsheet::Read->VERSION >>
returns and is only kept for backward compatibility reasons.

=head3 sheets

 my $sheets = $book->sheets; # OO
 my @sheets = $book->sheets; # OO

In scalar context return the number of sheets in the book.
In list context return the labels of the sheets in the book.

=head3 sheet

 my $sheet = $book->sheet (1);     # OO
 my $sheet = $book->sheet ("Foo"); # OO

Return the numbered or named sheet out of the book. Will return C<undef> if
there is no match. Will not work for sheets I<named> with a number between 1
and the number of sheets in the book.

With named sheets will first try to use the list of sheet-labels as stored in
the control structure. If no match is found, it will scan the actual labels
of the sheets. In that case, it will return the first matching sheet.

If defined, the returned sheet will be of class C<Spreadsheet::Read::Sheet>.

=head3 add

 my $book = ReadData ("file.csv");
 Spreadsheet::Read::add ($book, "file.xlsx");

 my $book = Spreadsheet::Read->new ("file.csv");
 $book->add ("file.xlsx"); # OO

=head2 Methods on sheets

 my $col = $sheet->maxcol;

Return the index of the last in-use column in the sheet. This index is 1-based.

=head3 maxrow

 my $row = $sheet->maxrow;

Return the index of the last in-use row in the sheet. This index is 1-based.

=head3 cell

 my $cell = $sheet->cell ("A3");
 my $cell = $sheet->cell (1, 3);

Return the value for a cell. Using tags will return the formatted value,
using column and row will return unformatted value.

=head3 attr

 my $cell = $sheet->attr ("A3");
 my $cell = $sheet->attr (1, 3);

Return the attributes of a cell. Only valid if attributes are enabled through
option C<attr>.

=head3 col2label

 my $col_id = $sheet->col2label (col);

C<col2label ()> converts a C<(column)> (1 based) to the letters used in the
traditional cell notation:

  my $id = $sheet->col2label ( 4); # $id now "D"
  my $id = $sheet->col2label (28); # $id now "AB"

=head3 cr2cell

 my $cell = $sheet->cr2cell (col, row);

C<cr2cell ()> converts a C<(column, row)> pair (1 based) to the
traditional cell notation:

  my $cell = $sheet->cr2cell ( 4, 14); # $cell now "D14"
  my $cell = $sheet->cr2cell (28,  4); # $cell now "AB4"

=head3 cell2cr

 my ($col, $row) = $sheet->cell2cr ($cell);

C<cell2cr ()> converts traditional cell notation to a C<(column, row)>
pair (1 based):

  my ($col, $row) = $sheet->cell2cr ("D14"); # returns ( 4, 14)
  my ($col, $row) = $sheet->cell2cr ("AB4"); # returns (28,  4)

=head3 col

 my @col = $sheet->column ($col);

Get full column of formatted values (like C<< $sheet->{C1} .. $sheet->{C9} >>)

Note that the indexes in the returned list are 0-based.

=head3 cellcolumn

 my @col = $sheet->cellcolumn ($col);

Get full column of unformatted values (like C<< $sheet->{cell}[3][1] .. $sheet->{cell}[3][9] >>)

Note that the indexes in the returned list are 0-based.

=head3 row

 my @row = $sheet->row ($row);

Get full row of formatted values (like C<< $sheet->{A3} .. $sheet->{G3} >>)

Note that the indexes in the returned list are 0-based.

=head3 cellrow

 my @row = $sheet->cellrow ($row);

Get full row of unformatted values (like C<< $sheet->{cell}[1][3] .. $sheet->{cell}[7][3] >>)

Note that the indexes in the returned list are 0-based.

=head3 rows

 my @rows = $sheet->rows ();

Convert C<{cell}>'s C<[column][row]> to a C<[row][column]> list.

Note that the indexes in the returned list are 0-based, where the
index in the C<{cell}> entry is 1-based.

=head3 label

 my $label = $sheet->label;
 $sheet->label ("New sheet label");

Set a new label to a sheet. Note that the index in the control structure will
I<NOT> be updated.

=head3 active

 my $sheet_is_active = $sheet->active;

Returns 1 if the selected sheet is active, otherwise returns 0.

Currently only works on XLS (as of Spreadsheed::ParseExcel-0.61).
CSV is always active.

=head2 Using CSV

In case of CSV parsing, L<C<ReadData>|/ReadData> will use the first line of
the file to auto-detect the separation character if the first argument is a
file and both C<sep> and C<quote> are not passed as attributes.
L<Text::CSV_XS|https://metacpan.org/release/Text-CSV_XS> (or
L<Text::CSV_PP|https://metacpan.org/release/Text-CSV_PP>) is able to
automatically detect and use C<\r> line endings.

CSV can parse streams too, but be sure to pass C<sep> and/or C<quote> if
these do not match the default C<,> and C<">.

When an error is found in the CSV, it is automatically reported (to STDERR).
The structure will store the error in C<< $ss->[0]{error} >> as anonymous
list returned by
L<C<< $csv->error_diag >>|https://metacpan.org/pod/Text::CSV_XS#error_diag>.
See L<Text::CSV_XS|https://metacpan.org/pod/Text-CSV_XS> for documentation.

 my $ss = ReadData ("bad.csv");
 $ss->[0]{error} and say $ss->[0]{error}[1];

As CSV has no sheet labels, the default label for a CSV sheet is its filename.
For CSV, this can be overruled using the I<label> attribute:

 my $ss = Spreadsheet::Read->new ("/some/place/test.csv", label => "Test");

=head2 Cell Attributes
X<attr>

If the constructor was called with C<attr> having a true value,

 my $book = ReadData ("book.xls", attr => 1);
 my $book = Spreadsheet::Read->new ("book.xlsx", attr => 1);

effort is made to analyze and store field attributes like this:

    { label  => "Sheet 1",
      maxrow => 5,
      maxcol => 2,
      cell   => [ undef,
	[ undef, 1 ],
	[ undef, undef, undef, undef, undef, "Nugget" ],
	],
      attr   => [ undef,
	[ undef, {
	  type    => "numeric",
	  fgcolor => "#ff0000",
	  bgcolor => undef,
	  font    => "Arial",
	  size    => undef,
	  format  => "## ##0.00",
	  halign  => "right",
	  valign  => "top",
	  uline   => 0,
	  bold    => 0,
	  italic  => 0,
	  wrap    => 0,
	  merged  => 0,
	  hidden  => 0,
	  locked  => 0,
	  enc     => "utf-8",
	  }, ]
	[ undef, undef, undef, undef, undef, {
	  type    => "text",
	  fgcolor => "#e2e2e2",
	  bgcolor => undef,
	  font    => "Letter Gothic",
	  size    => 15,
	  format  => undef,
	  halign  => "left",
	  valign  => "top",
	  uline   => 0,
	  bold    => 0,
	  italic  => 0,
	  wrap    => 0,
	  merged  => 0,
	  hidden  => 0,
	  locked  => 0,
	  enc     => "iso8859-1",
	  }, ]
      merged => [],
      A1     => 1,
      B5     => "Nugget",
      },

The entries C<maxrow> and C<maxcol> are 1-based.

This has now been partially implemented, mainly for Excel, as the other
parsers do not (yet) support all of that. YMMV.

If a cell itself is not hidden, but the parser holds the information that
either the row or the column (or both) the field is in is hidden, the flag
is inherited into the cell attributes.

You can get the attributes of a cell (as a hash-ref) like this:

 my $attr = $book[1]{attr}[1][3];          # Direct structure
 my $attr = $book->sheet (1)->attr (1, 3); # Same using OO
 my $attr = $book->sheet (1)->attr ("A3"); # Same using OO

To get to the C<font> attribute, use any of these:

 my $font = $book[1]{attr}[1][3]{font};
 my $font = $book->sheet (1)->attr (1, 3)->{font};
 my $font = $book->sheet (1)->attr ("A3")->font;

=head3 Merged cells
X<merged>

Note that only
L<Spreadsheet::ReadSXC|https://metacpan.org/release/Spreadsheet-ReadSXC>
documents the use of merged cells, and not in a way useful for the spreadsheet
consumer.

CSV does not support merged cells (though future implementations of CSV
for the web might).

The documentation of merged areas in
L<Spreadsheet::ParseExcel|https://metacpan.org/release/Spreadsheet-ParseExcel> and
L<Spreadsheet::ParseXLSX|https://metacpan.org/release/Spreadsheet-ParseXLSX> can
be found in
L<Spreadsheet::ParseExcel::Worksheet|https://metacpan.org/release/Spreadsheet-ParseExcel-Worksheet>
and L<Spreadsheet::ParseExcel::Cell|https://metacpan.org/release/Spreadsheet-ParseExcel-Cell>.

None of basic L<Spreadsheet::XLSX|https://metacpan.org/release/Spreadsheet-XLSX>,
L<Spreadsheet::ParseExcel|https://metacpan.org/release/Spreadsheet-ParseExcel>, and
L<Spreadsheet::ParseXLSX|https://metacpan.org/release/Spreadsheet-ParseXLSX> manual
pages mention merged cells at all.

This module just tries to return the information in a generic way.

Given this spreadsheet as an example

 merged.xlsx:

     A     B     C
  +-----+-----------+
 1|     | foo       |
  +-----+           +
 2| bar |           |
  |     +-----+-----+
 3|     | urg | orc |
  +-----+-----+-----+

the information extracted from that undocumented information is
returned in the C<merged> entry of the sheet's hash as a list of
top-left, bottom-right coordinate pars (col, row, col, row). For
given example, that would be:

 $ss->{merged} = [
    [ 1, 2, 1, 3 ], # A2-A3
    [ 2, 1, 3, 2 ], # B1-C2
    ];

When the attributes are also enabled, there is some merge information
copied directly from the cell information, but again, that stems from
code analysis and not from documentation:

 my $ss = ReadData ("merged.xlsx", attr => 1)->[1];
 foreach my $row (1 .. $ss->{maxrow}) {
     foreach my $col (1 .. $ss->{maxcol}) {
         my $cell = cr2cell ($col, $row);
         printf "%s %-3s %d  ", $cell, $ss->{$cell},
             $ss->{attr}[$col][$row]{merged};
         }
     print "\n";
     }

 A1     0  B1 foo 1  C1     1
 A2 bar 1  B2     1  C2     1
 A3     1  B3 urg 0  C3 orc 0

In this example, there is no way to see if C<B2> is merged to C<A2> or
to C<B1> without analyzing all surrounding cells. This could as well
mean C<A2:A3>, C<B1:C1>, C<B2:C2>, as C<A2:A3>, C<B1:B2>, C<C1:C2>, as
C<A2:A3>, C<B1:C2>.
Use the L<C<merged>|/merged> entry described above to find out what
fields are merged to what other fields.

=head1 TOOLS

This modules comes with a few tools that perform tasks from the FAQ, like
"How do I select only column D through F from sheet 2 into a CSV file?"

If the module was installed without the tools, you can find them here:

=head2 C<xls2csv>

Convert a spreadsheet to CSV. This is just a small wrapper over C<xlscat>.

 usage: xls2csv [ -o file.csv ] file.xls

=head2 C<ss2tk>

Show a spreadsheet in a perl/Tk spreadsheet widget

 usage: ss2tk [-w <width>] [X11 options] file.xls [<pattern>]
        -w <width> use <width> as default column width (4)

=head2 C<ssdiff>

Show the differences between two spreadsheets.

 usage: examples/ssdiff [--verbose[=1]] file.xls file.xlsx

=item Options

=over 2

=item Module Options

New Spreadsheet::Read options are bound to happen. I'm thinking of an
option that disables the reading of the data entirely to speed up an
index request (how many sheets/fields/columns). See C<xlscat -i>.

=item Parser options

Try to transparently support as many options as the encapsulated modules
support regarding (un)formatted values, (date) formats, hidden columns
rows or fields etc. These could be implemented like C<attr> above but
names C<meta>, or just be new values in the C<attr> hashes.

=back

=item Other parsers

Add support for new(er) parsers for already supported formats, like

=over 2

=item Data::XLSX::Parser

Data::XLSX::Parser provides faster way to parse Microsoft Excel's .xlsx
files. The implementation of this module is highly inspired from Python's
FastXLSX library.

This is SAX based parser, so you can parse very large XLSX file with
lower memory usage.

=back

=item Other spreadsheet formats

I consider adding any spreadsheet interface that offers a usable API.

Under investigation:

=over 2

=item Gnumeric (.gnumeric)

I have seen no existing CPAN module yet.

It is gzip'ed XML

=item Kspread (.ksp)

Now knows as Calligra Sheets.

I have seen no existing CPAN module yet.

It is XML in ZIP

=back

=item Alternative parsers for existing formats

As long as the alternative has a good reason for its existence, and the
API of that parser reasonable fits in my approach, I will consider to
implement the glue layer, or apply patches to do so as long as these
match what F<CONTRIBUTING.md> describes.

=head1 SEE ALSO

=over 2

=item Text::CSV_XS, Text::CSV_PP

See L<Text::CSV_XS|https://metacpan.org/release/Text-CSV_XS> ,
L<Text::CSV_PP|https://metacpan.org/release/Text-CSV_PP> , and
L<Text::CSV|https://metacpan.org/release/Text-CSV> documentation.

L<Text::CSV|https://metacpan.org/release/Text-CSV> is a wrapper over Text::CSV_XS (the fast XS version) and/or
L<Text::CSV_PP|https://metacpan.org/release/Text-CSV_PP> (the pure perl version).

=item Spreadsheet::ParseExcel

L<Spreadsheet::ParseExcel|https://metacpan.org/release/Spreadsheet-ParseExcel> is
the best parser for old-style Microsoft Excel (.xls) files.

=item Spreadsheet::ParseXLSX

L<Spreadsheet::ParseXLSX|https://metacpan.org/release/Spreadsheet-ParseXLSX> is
like L<Spreadsheet::ParseExcel|https://metacpan.org/release/Spreadsheet-ParseExcel>,
but for new Microsoft Excel 2007+ files (.xlsx). They have the same API.

This module uses L<XML::Twig|https://metacpan.org/release/XML-Twig> to parse the
internal XML.

=item Spreadsheet::XLSX

See L<Spreadsheet::XLSX|https://metacpan.org/release/Spreadsheet-XLSX>
documentation.

This module is dead and deprecated. It is B<buggy and unmaintained>.  I<Please>
use L<Spreadsheet::ParseXLSX|https://metacpan.org/release/Spreadsheet-ParseXLSX>
instead.

=item Spreadsheet::ReadSXC

L<Spreadsheet::ReadSXC|https://metacpan.org/release/Spreadsheet-ReadSXC> is a
parser for OpenOffice/LibreOffice (.sxc and .ods) spreadsheet files.

=item Spreadsheet::BasicRead

See L<Spreadsheet::BasicRead|https://metacpan.org/release/Spreadsheet-BasicRead>
for xlscat-like functionality (Excel only)

=item Spreadsheet::ConvertAA

See L<Spreadsheet::ConvertAA|https://metacpan.org/release/Spreadsheet-ConvertAA>
for an alternative set of L</cell2cr>/L</cr2cell> pair.

=item Spreadsheet::Perl

L<Spreadsheet::Perl|https://metacpan.org/release/Spreadsheet-Perl> offers a Pure
Perl implementation of a spreadsheet engine.  Users that want this format to be
supported in Spreadsheet::Read are hereby motivated to offer patches. It is
not high on my TODO-list.

=item Spreadsheet::CSV

L<Spreadsheet::CSV|https://metacpan.org/release/Spreadsheet-CSV> offers the
interesting approach of seeing all supported spreadsheet formats as if it were
CSV, mimicking the L<Text::CSV_XS|https://metacpan.org/release/Text-CSV_XS>
interface.

=item xls2csv

L<xls2csv|https://metacpan.org/release/xls2csv> offers an alternative for my
C<xlscat -c>, in the xls2csv tool, but this tool focuses on character encoding
transparency, and requires some other modules.
