Hello,

Today, I'm happy to present you the Debian package
libspreadsheet-read-perl, which is part of the perl section, and
maintained by Debian Perl Group
<pkg-perl-maintainers at lists.alioth.debian.org>. 

This package contains : reader for common spreadsheet formats.

Spreadsheet::Read is a Perl module that tries to transparently read arbitrary
spreadsheet files and return its content in a universal manner independent of
the parsing module that does the actual spreadsheet scanning.

For OpenOffice, this module uses Spreadsheet::ReadSXC.

For Microsoft Excel, this module uses Spreadsheet::XLSX (for newer files; see
the libspreadsheet-xlsx-perl package) or Spreadsheet::ParseExcel (available
in libspreadsheet-parseexcel-perl)

For Comma-Separated Value (CSV) files, this module uses Text::CSV (either the
pure perl version in libtext-csv-perl, or, if available, the XS-accelerated
version packaged as libtext-csv-xs-perl).

For SquirrelCalc, there is a very simplistic built-in parser.
