Message-Id: <1186643733.107705.121670@d55g2000hsg.googlegroups.com>
Hei friends,
i'am new in newbie in Perl, and i try i convert a excel file in csv
file in Suse 10.0 linux.
I install the Spreadsheet-ParseExcel-0.32.tar.gz module in my linux
but when i try run this script :
use strict;
use Spreadsheet::ParseExcel;
my $excel =3D Spreadsheet::ParseExcel::Workbook->Parse($file);
foreach my $sheet (@{$excel->{Worksheet}}) {
printf("Sheet: %s\n", $sheet->{Name});
$sheet->{MaxRow} ||=3D $sheet->{MinRow};
foreach my $row ($sheet->{MinRow} .. $sheet->{MaxRow}) {
$sheet->{MaxCol} ||=3D $sheet->{MinCol};
foreach my $col ($sheet->{MinCol} .. $sheet->{MaxCol}) {
my $cell =3D $sheet->{Cells}[$row][$col];
if ($cell) {
printf("( %s , %s ) =3D> %s\n", $row, $col, $cell-
>{Val});
}
}
}
}
I have a error something like this :
"Can=B4t locate Spreadsheet.pm in @INC(@INC constains : ............"
Can you help me, please ??
Thanks,
Paulito

This message means you did not properly install the module, or at
least, Perl was unable to find it. I install CPAN modules as follows:
$ perl -wle 'use strict; use Spreadsheet::ParseExcel'
Can't locate Spreadsheet/ParseExcel.pm in @INC (@INC contains: ...)
$ sudo su -
# perl -MCPAN -e shell
cpan[1]> i Spreadsheet::ParseExcel
Strange distribution name [Spreadsheet::ParseExcel]
Module id =3D Spreadsheet::ParseExcel
DESCRIPTION Get information from Excel file
CPAN_USERID SZABGAB (Gabor Szabo <gabor@pti.co.il>)
CPAN_VERSION 0.32
CPAN_FILE S/SZ/SZABGAB/Spreadsheet-ParseExcel-0.32.tar.gz
DSLIP_STATUS RdpOp (released,developer,perl,object-
oriented,Standard-Perl)
INST_FILE (not installed)
cpan[3]> install Spreadsheet::ParseExcel

Running make for S/SZ/SZABGAB/Spreadsheet-ParseExcel-0.32.tar.gz
[=2E..]
cpan[4]> quit
# exit
$ perl -wle 'use strict; use Spreadsheet::ParseExcel'
$
Observe that we now did get no output - which means the module was
properly installed.

Thanks, Mr Schwartz! (A little wowed because this feels like if I'd
posted a question on a DOS batch script and gotten a reply from Bill
Gates... only not as evil seeming).
I'm going to do what I can in that vein. For the moment, though, I've
at least made the average time go down from .0887 to .036 seconds,
which is a plus, just by actually checking %INC for the right file and
just using the existing constructor if possible. Killed 5 our of 11
spurious requires that way. Also checked through @INC for the right
file to require if I have to instead of doing an eval "require..."
which seems to have helped some.
I think the next big speed-up I can do at the moment without ...
well... higher-ups wrote some of the base code... in the 90s...
anyway... I've gotten the package loader to not be the slowest thing
happening on the page, so I get to shift gears and figure out which
MySQL SELECTS are taking too long, what indices they aren't using, and
so on.

Thank you for your reply.
If system is only limited to those who understand LIST command is the list-file
structure standardised/documented somewhere?

If your CRTL allows opening a 1000 output files, read a line, and
append the entries into corresponding files. Then cat the files
together.
If your CRTL allows opening only 32 output files, you need 3 passes,
not 2. First break into 32 files, 32 colums per file; then repeat
breaking for 32 generated files. Again, you get 1000 output files;
cat them together.
Hope this helps,
Ilya
P.S. If all your output data should fit into memory, use scalars
instead of files (preallocate scalars to be extra safe: $a =
'a'; $a x= 4e6; $a = '' preallocates 4MB of buffer for a
variable).
Read file line-by-line, appending to 1000 strings in memory.
Then write them out to a file.

Maybe you will regard my solution as bizzare, but ...
1) open your file for read
2) open 1000 files for write
3) read row of your file
4) parse columns
5) write 1st column to 1st file, 2nd column to 2nd file etc. but without end
of line "\n"
6) goto 3 until end of file
7) close readed file
8) write "\n" to each of 1000 files and close all
9) simply join all files to one using system command (cp 0.txt + 1.txt ....
> final.txt)
This solution not consumpt much memory and should be relatively quick.
BTW: I'm curious to reactions of this programmer community :-)

Tad,
The output for the debug line appears as follow:
DEBUG: 1 2 3 94
As you mentioned using a 5th variable or trimming the leading space
would work. I guess I got caught up thinking that regex should do the
job with no further modification needed. Is there another one I could
have used instead which would dump leading spaces?

That is only a solution if the empty field is guaranteed to be present.
Since we don't know the format of the line, that's not a given.

You could get something very similar with Fatal's "succeed or die"
semantics:
use Fatal qw/open readdir/;
eval {open ...; readdir ..; ... };
die $@ if $@;
which generates:
Can't readdir(GLOB(0x23780)): Bad file number

The latter works like a charm here. Make sure you're using a recent
version of cperl-mode, though.

ActiveState doesn't do the best job at keeping it's PPM archives synched up with
what's available on CPAN.
With a few exceptions the modules on CPAN are platform-independent.
Unfortunately for Windows users they tend to assume a *nix-like environment
where "make" (and possibly a C compiler) are available. With a little one-time
effort you can set up your computer so that you can install anything from CPAN:
1) Install nmake
2) Install MinGW
3) Install ExtUtils::FakeConfig
Then change the standard Perl module install mantra slightly:
perl -MConfig_m Makefile.pl
make
make test
make install
The only change is the addition of -MConfig_m when running Makefile.pl.
