I have an Excel spreadsheet with a few columns that I'd like to read into as many perl arrays, or perhaps use associative arrays, and manipulate to create several new columns. This is almost completely numeric data!

I'd like to compare the way Perl and Python perform the same tasks!

thanks!

If you are interested in comparing how others have accomplished manipulating an Excel spreadsheet using each language, then I would refer you to this article about reading and writing Excel files with Perl and this website that focuses exclusively on the use of Excel with Python. There's plenty of source material in those links to digest. I look forward to your comparison.
