Hi
Which module should I use if I wish to process data in a xls file
using a macro (which also I need to write) to generate graphs for the
data already present in the xls file?

There are (to my knowledge) no Perl modules that will allow you to do
this. On Windows, you can use Win32::OLE to control the Excel
application to do what you want (I have not used it.)

Maybe this one will put you on your way:
#=========================
use strict;
use Win32::OLE;
use Win32::OLE::Const 'Microsoft Excel';
print "Opening Excel...\n";
my $Excel = Win32::OLE->new("Excel.Application");
$Excel-> = 1;
my $Book = $Excel->Workbooks->Add;
my $Sheet = $Book->Worksheets(1);
my $Range = $Sheet->Range("A2:C7");
print "Creating data...\n";
$Range-> =
[['Delivered', 'En route', 'To be shipped'],
[504, 102, 86],
[670, 150, 174],
[891, 261, 201],
[1274, 471, 321],
[1563, 536, 241]];
my $Chart = $Excel->Charts->Add;
print "Creating chart...\n";
$Chart-> = xlAreaStacked;
$Chart->SetSourceData({Source => $Range, PlotBy => xlColumns});
$Chart-> = 1;
$Chart->ChartTitle-> = "Items delivered, en route and to be shipped";
print "Saving...\n";
$Book->SaveAs({
FileName => "c:\my documents\perl\excel chart\Excel Chart.xls" ,
FileFormat => xlWorkbookNormal ,
Password => "",
WriteResPassword => "" ,
ReadOnlyRecommended => 0 ,
CreateBackup => 0 }) ;
print "Closing...\n";
$Excel->ActiveWorkbook->Close(0);
print "Quiting...\n";
$Excel->Quit();
