Excel should only see the \t character. It sounds as though the \t is not being
picked up correctly. Have you tried a comma delimiter? It not Perl, but I have had
better luck with comma or semi-colon delimiters with Excel.

Hello,
I have some data in a matrix from the linux world; I am attempting to
construct columns from the matrix and output them to a file, which later
needs to be opened in Microsoft Excel to be manipulated. Right now I am
making the columns using "\t" as a delimiter.
If the number of columns remains small, the columns, while looking suspect
in xterm, format nicely in Excel, but as soon as the number of columns
become > 10, the columns start to stagger which Excel doesn't like.
Any modules out there to keep columns formatted nicely?
thanks,
chirag
