Thanks, this worked fine. I did make the rookie mistake of copying an example off the web without fully understanding the module's syntax. The code created a spreadsheet as expected, but the resulting file wouldn't attach to email using MIME::Lite or MIME::Lite::TT:HTML. Problem was I'd forgotten to close the workbook: $workbook->close(); I found several instances of people asking why they could see the spreadsheet on disk but couldn't email it; that's why. Of course close() is well documented in this module's perldoc page.
