Question by jayztttight: I am trying to understand how Perl gets info from an Excel file and passes it to Flash?
I am looking at an old site, and I cannot figure how it uses Perl to grab information from Excel Spreadsheets, and then puts all that information into Flash. I was given this old site to update but I have no idea where to start.

Perl can trivially pluck information from an excel file (or any other flat-file/database). According to search engine, perl has several different projects that provide bindings for flash libraries, allowing you to create flash output from your perl script.
