There is Perl code to access and create Excel sheets:
see:
http://search.cpan.org/~kwitknr/Spreadsheet-ParseExcel-0.2603/ParseExcel.pm
There is also a WriteExcel module (by a different author, go figure).
http://search.cpan.org/~jmcnamara/Spreadsheet-WriteExcel-2.02/lib/Spreadsheet/WriteExcel.pm
You could use those as references and samples of working code. I am
sure that a version in Smalltalk would be much cleaner than Perl :-)
