ExcelWriter(3pm)

✨ ExcelWriter(3pm) ✨

okay so this is the ExcelWriter page from section 3pm of the manual, and bestie, it's literally a tiny little Perl module that takes your Lire XML report and turns it into an Excel95(tm) spreadsheet. that's the whole vibe. 💅

---

🌸 NAME 🌸

Lire::ReportParser::ExcelWriter — transforms Lire XML Reports into an Excel95(tm) spreadsheet. that's it, that's the job, and it does it flawlessly. ✨

---

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

like, here's how you actually use it:

use Lire::ReportParser::ExceltWriter;

my $parser = new Lire::ReportParser::ExcelWriter();

eval { $parser->parsefile( "report.xml" ) };
print "Parse failed: $@" if $@;

yes, ExceltWriter in the use line is exactly what the page says — don't come for me, I'm copying it character for character. 🙈

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so this is a Lire::ReportParser processor, right? and what it does is transform the Lire XML report into an Excel95(tm) spreadsheet, which gets output on STDOUT. no file, no drama, just straight to standard out. 🔥

its constructor doesn't take any parameters. zero. none. it's a low-maintenance main character. 👑
