XML::SAXDriver::Excel - SAXDriver for converting Excel files to XML
use XML::SAXDriver::Excel; my $driver = XML::SAXDriver::Excel->new(%attr); $driver->parse(%attr);
XML::SAXDriver::Excel was developed as a complement to XML::Excel, though it provides a SAX interface, for gained performance and efficiency, to Excel files. Specific object attributes and handlers are set to define the behavior of the parse() method. It does not matter where you define your attributes. If they are defined in the new() method, they will apply to all parse() calls. You can override in any call to parse() and it will remain local to that function call and not effect the rest of the object.
Source - (Reference to a String, ByteStream, SystemId) String - **currently not supported** Contains literal Excel data. Ex (Source => {String => $foo}) ByteStream - **currently not supported** Contains a filehandle reference. Ex. (Source => {ByteStream => \*STDIN}) SystemId - Contains the path to the file containing the Excel data. Ex (Source => {SystemId => '../excel/foo.xls'}) Handler - Contains the object to be used as a XML print handler DTDHandler - Contains the object to be used as a XML DTD handler. ****There is no DTD support available at this time. I'll make it available in the next version.**** SubChar - Specifies the character(s) to use to substitute illegal chars in xml tag names, that will be generated from the first row, but setting the Dynamic_Col_Headings. Col_Headings - Reference to the array of column names to be used for XML tag names. Dynamic_Col_Headings - Should be set if you want the XML tag names generated dynamically from the first row in Excel file. **Make sure that the number of columns in your first row is equal to the largest row in the document. You don't generally have to worry about if you are submitting valid Excel data, where each row will have the same number of columns, even if they are empty. Headings_Handler - Should be used along with Dynamic_Col_Headings to provide a heading normalization handler, to conform the headings to the XML 1.0 specifications. If not provided, a default will be used that only works with ASCII chars, therefore any other character sets need to provide a custom handler! The handler sub will be passed the heading string as the first argument.
