The following module was proposed for inclusion in the Module List: modid: Spreadsheet::XLSX::Reader::LibXML DSLIP: adpOp description: Read xlsx spreadsheet files with LibXML userid: JANDREW (Jed Lund) chapterid: 8 (User_Interfaces) communities: http://t669059.perl-module-authors.perltalk.net/naming-an-excel-2007-reader-package-t669059.html,http://www.meetup.com/SVPerl/events/205413242/,
similar: Spreadsheet::XLSX,Spreadsheet::ParseXLSX rationale: The goal of my module is to read the new Microsoft excel format files 2007 and newer (based in XML) while providing a very close implementation to Spreadsheet::ParseExcel which is build for the Excel version 2003 and earlier Microsoft binary format. This package shares this objective with Spreadsheet::ParseXLSX. The difference is ParseXLSX uses XML::Twig where this implementation uses XML::LibXML. I started this project in part because of the Bug #71636 for XML-Twig: Segfault with medium-sized document. Spreadsheet::XLSX uses a roll your own XML parser and reads the whole sheet into memory so it also fails on large files. Additionally it doesn't adhere to the Spreadsheet::ParseExcel interface very closely. enteredby: JANDREW (Jed Lund) enteredon: Sat Nov 8 14:17:04 2014 UTC The resulting entry would be: Spreadsheet::XLSX::Reader:: ::LibXML adpOp Read xlsx spreadsheet files with LibXML JANDREW Thanks for registering, -- The PAUSE PS: The following links are only valid for module list maintainers: Registration form with editing capabilities: https://pause.perl.org/pause/authenquery?ACTION=add_mod&USERID=a3010000_72ef10c5bef2dc22&SUBMIT_pause99_add_mod_preview=1 Immediate (one click) registration: https://pause.perl.org/pause/authenquery?ACTION=add_mod&USERID=a3010000_72ef10c5bef2dc22&SUBMIT_pause99_add_mod_insertit=1 Peek at the current permissions: https://pause.perl.org/pause/authenquery?pause99_peek_perms_by=me&pause99_peek_perms_query=Spreadsheet%3A%3AXLSX%3A%3AReader%3A%3ALibXML
