+%description
+The Spreadsheet::WriteExcel module can be used to create a cross-
+platform Excel binary file. Multiple worksheets can be added to a
+workbook and formatting can be applied to cells. Text, numbers,
+formulas, hyperlinks and images can be written to the cells.
+
+The Excel file produced by this module is compatible with 97,
+2000, 2002 and 2003.
+
+The module will work on the majority of Windows, UNIX and
+Macintosh platforms. Generated files are also compatible with the
+spreadsheet applications Gnumeric and OpenOffice.org.
+
+This module cannot be used to read an Excel file. See
+Spreadsheet::ParseExcel or look at the main documentation for some
+suggestions. This module cannot be uses to write to an existing
+Excel file.
