这是一个例子：

#!/usr/bin/perl -w

use strict;
use warnings;

use Spreadsheet::ParseExcel;

my $parser   = Spreadsheet::ParseExcel->new();
my $workbook = $parser->parse('Book1.xls');

for my $worksheet ( $workbook->worksheets() ) {

    my ( $row_min,$row_max ) = $worksheet->row_range();
    my ( $col_min,$col_max ) = $worksheet->col_range();

    for my $row ( $row_min .. $row_max ) {
        for my $col ( $col_min .. $col_max ) {

            my $cell = $worksheet->get_cell( $row,$col );
            next unless $cell;

            print "Row,Col    = ($row,$col)\n";
            print "Value       = ",$cell->value(),"\n";
            print "Unformatted = ",$cell->unformatted(),"\n";
            print "\n";
        }
    }
}

要使用Perl将Excel文件转换为文本,我建议使用使用Spreadsheet :: ParseExcel的excel2txt.
