Ubuntu script to write to an Excel file
I have an Ubuntu server. I need to write to an Excel file (not csv). Ideas? I've heard that python might be able to do the trick... but I need someone to walk me through a simple "hello world" type example.

Thanks. I think this is what I need. I ran "sudo apt-get install libspreadsheet-parseexcel- perl", and it looks like it installed without errors. Then I downloaded a sample from the site you gave me. I'm not very familiar with Perl, so wish me luck.

Python can write excel files with "xlrw". but for the life of me I can't find it anywhere, so I'm guesing it's not being maintained.
Then you have many samples on the web, i.e.:
