OK, now I get it. So, I suppose you could dump the data out of gnumeric and then recalculate everything in perl, but then what would be the point of having it in gnumeric in the first place?
Exactly! These wonderful gnumeric coders have put all this hard work into a nice spreadsheet; no need to reinvent the wheel.
Yeah, it really seems like there should be a whole slate of file format conversion tools that can be used on the command line: gnumeric2html, gnumeric2csv, gnumeric2xls, etc.
Yes! Although there is some slight difference between conversion to html and conversion to xls: the html is just a "static" file, but the xls file is another spreadsheet format in which you need to store formulas. I don't know what impact this difference would have on coding those utilities, but it might be useful to keep that in mind. I'm glad this is being worked on. Thanks, everybody.
