#
# Example of how to use the Spreadsheet::WriteExcel module to send an Excel
# file to a browser using mod_perl 2 and Apache.
#
# This module ties *XLS directly to Apache, and with the correct
# content-disposition/types it will prompt the user to save
# the file, or open it at this location.
#
# This script is a modification of the Spreadsheet::WriteExcel cgi.pl example.
#
# Change the name of this file to MP2Test.pm.
# Change the package location to where ever you locate this package.
# In the example below it is located in the WriteExcel directory.
#
# Your httpd.conf entry for this module, should you choose to use it
# as a stand alone app, should look similar to the following:
#
# PerlModule Apache2::RequestRec
# PerlModule APR::Table
# PerlModule Apache2::RequestIO
#
# <Location /spreadsheet-test>
# SetHandler perl-script
# PerlResponseHandler Spreadsheet::WriteExcel::MP2Test
# </Location>
#
# The PerlResponseHandler must match the package name below.
