[cgiapp] RE: Report generation...

["Kinyon, Rob" <suppressed>]

Use Excel::Template - it takes the exact same data structure as
HTML::Template. The only changes needed are:
1) The content-type
2) The module you're using (Excel::Template vs. HTML::Template)

That's about it. :-)

If you have any questions, let me know. I'm the author of E::T (as well
as PDF::Template, a sister module).

Subject: Report generation...

I'm working on an application that has a report generation mode that
generates a report as an Excel spreadsheet that is then sent to the
client.  I can think of several ways to do this, but the idea I'm
currently toying with is having my CGI::App exec a separate script that
generates the report.  I'm not sure yet if I will write the report to
disk and then present the user with a link to that, have the CGI::App
load it and send it to the user, or have the report returned directly to
the CGI::App.

What methods are you guys using?
