[MacPerl] Parsing Excel export files

[James Sentman <sentman@m1.mediaone.com>]

Not long ago someone posted a request to the evangelist asking for help in
renaming a bunch of files based on what he had entered in an excel
spreadsheet. I thought this would be a perfect problem to solve with
MacPerl. He's exporting to a comma delimited file and I've set the record
separator to a comma, but it isn't able to load the records into an array.
I am further hindered by the fact that I cannot get Excel to run on my 8600
here at work so I can't actually test the thing how I would like to.

Does anyone have any wisdom about parseing exported files from Excel?

Thanks,
 James
