SYNOPSIS

      engine   => 'TT',
      template => 'test.tmpl',
      config   => { INCLUDE  => [ '/templates' ] },
      params   => { ... }
  );

  # an existing example file ...
  cmp_excel_files("test.xls", "t/xls/test.xls", '... the excel files matched');

DISCLAIMER

This module is woefully incomplete. It works for my very basic purposes right now, but it is surely going to need lots or work in the future to make it really usable.

DESCRIPTION

This module attempts to provide a means of testing and comparing dynamically generated excel files. Currently it only supports comparing two excel files for some approximation of strutural (values within cells) and visual (formatting of said cells) equivalence.

As a by product of the implementation, elements may get compared which don't really need comparing, and things which do need comparing may be skipped. This will get refined as time goes by and the module is used in more heavyweight situations.
