🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So this module is the ride-or-die sidekick to Excel::Writer::XLSX — together they make an Excel XLSX container file. That's the whole job. She's a builder. 👑

Now let's get into the lore. Per Wikipedia, the Open Packaging Conventions (OPC) is a container-file technology that Microsoft originally created to store a bunch of XML and non-XML files together so they form one single entity — like an Open XML Paper Specification (OpenXPS) document. Real main character origin story. If you wanna go deeper: <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_Packaging_Conventions>. 🧚

At its absolute simplest, an Excel XLSX file has these elements in it:

     ____ [Content_Types].xml
    |
    |____ docProps
    | |____ app.xml
    | |____ core.xml
    |
    |____ xl
    | |____ workbook.xml
    | |____ worksheets
    | | |____ sheet1.xml
    | |
    | |____ styles.xml
    | |
    | |____ theme
    | | |____ theme1.xml
    | |
    | |_____rels
    |   |____ workbook.xml.rels
    |
    |_____rels
      |____ .rels

Look at that tree structure. She's organized. She's iconic. She has a folder for everything and a folder for her folder's rels. 🌸

And then the Excel::Writer::XLSX::Package::Packager class? She's the group chat admin fr fr — she co-ordinates all the classes that represent the elements of the package, and then writes them all out into the XLSX file. Periodt. 💫
