Spreadsheet/Perl version 0.02 ============================= Spreadsheet::Perl is a pure Perl implementation of a spreadsheet. Please look at the man page for more information. In this release: New: - cleaned up all the tests - Done a third of the documentation Changes/Fixes: - Reset croaked if not given data TODO Unfortunately there is still a lot to do (the basics are there) but I have the feeling I will not get the time needed. If someone is willing to help or take over, I'll be glad to step aside. I put this early version on cpan in the hope to get someone interested so the module doesn't end up in one of my never used archive CDs. Here are some of the things that I find missing, this doesn't mean all are good ideas: - documentation, test (working on it) - perl debugger support à la PBS - Row/column/spreadsheet default values. - R1C1 Referencing - database interface (a handfull of functions at most) - WWW interface - Arithmetic functions (only Sum is implemented), statistic functions - printing, exporting - importing from other spreadsheets - more serious file reading and file writting - more complex stuff (fixing one fixes the other) - Insertion of rows and columns - Deletion of rows and columns - Sorting - a gui (curses, tk, wxWindows) would be great! - a nice logo :-) Some of the stuff needed is available on CPAN, just some glue is needed. BUGS Plenty, I just don't know where they are. INSTALLATION To install this module type the following: perl Makefile.PL make make test make install DEPENDENCIES This module requires these other modules and libraries: Spreadsheet::ConvertAA.
