Excel and password protection

[timkenx]

hi guys, i am new to perl and I have a question about excel.

I am using the Spreadsheet:Par seexcel module to open a workbook and read data from it. My problem is that the workbook is password protected and I cannot access it. Does anyone have any solutions to this? There is no way that I can remove the protection.

No.

There is no utility currently available to access a password protected excel workbook.

Obviously you know the password, so open the workbook and save-as without the password. I've had to do this myself.
