$worksheet->write(1, $col, "Hi Excel!");

The Spreadsheet::WriteExcelXML module can be used to create an Excel file in XML format. The Excel XML format is supported in Excel 2002 and 2003.

Multiple worksheets can be added to a workbook and formatting can be applied to cells. Text, numbers, and formulas can be written to the cells. The module supports strings up to 32,767 characters and the strings can be in UTF8 format.

Spreadsheet::WriteExcelXML uses the same interface as Spreadsheet::WriteExcel.
This module cannot, as yet, be used to write to an existing Excel XML file.
