Proposal - AnyData::Format::Excel martykube 04-07-2007

Hi All,

I'm working on developing an AnyData format for excel files. The
design goals I have in mind are:

-- Provide AnyData::Format implementation for excel files
-- Implementation that works on *nix
-- Provide an (or another :-) interface to excel files via SQL

It appears to me that modules for *nix based access exist
(Spreadsheet::ParseExcel, Spreadsheet::WriteExcel and
Spreadsheet::ParseExcel::SaveParser).

The proposed AnyData::Format::Excel module would consist of a wrapper
for these Spreadsheet::* modules which supports the AnyData::Format
interface.

In addition to providing an AnyData interface to excel files, this
module would then provide SQL access to excel spreadsheets via
DBD::AnyData.

I'd appreciate feedback on whether this is a worthwhile effort and
reasonable approach.

Regards

Marty
