Excel add-in in Perl?

3
Hello,

Is it possible to compile perl code into an .xll and call it from Excel? If yes,
what is the best way to do it? I've searched the web and found a commercial
Perl Add-in Builder. Does anyone have experience with it?

Thank you!

I'm sorry, I have no experience with this at all. I'd be curious to hear what third party software you find is the best for this type of thing.

Good luck,

There is PerlXL. It is possible to get it from popular software download sites (just search the web). However it looks like it is not maintained anymore. And it is shareware, 30-day trial... :( The good thing is, however, that it works.

PerlXL. Very cute name.

Thanks for sharing panrug. If I ever have this need, it's nice to know where to start.

Not sure if this does what you want:

I have no idea how a perl script would be compiled into an .xll and called from Excel

I think, the usual solution is to include a Perl interpreter in the distributed file (let it be exe or xll).
