Unlike other modules like Spreadsheet::ParseXLSX or Spreadsheet::XLSX, there is no support for reading formulas, formats or other Excel internal information; all you get are plain values -- but you get them much faster! . Excel::ValueReader::XLSX has two possible implementation backends for parsing XLSX files: Excel::ValueReader::XLSX::Backend::Regex, based on regular expressions, or Excel::ValueReader::XLSX::Backend::LibXML, based on the libxml2 library. . The Regexp backend uses regular expressions to parse the XML content. The libxml2 backend uses XML::LibXML::Reader to parse the XML content. It is probably safer but about three times slower than the Regex backend (but still much faster than Spreadsheet::ParseXLSX).
