# Spreadsheet::WriteExcel::Big(3pm)

A class for creating Excel files \> 7MB.

## NAME

Big - A class for creating Excel files \> 7MB.

## SYNOPSIS

Use of this module is deprecated. See below.

## DESCRIPTION

The module was a sub-class of Spreadsheet::WriteExcel used for creating Excel files greater than 7MB. However, it is no longer required and is now deprecated.

As of version 2.17 Spreadsheet::WriteExcel can create files larger than 7MB directly if OLE::Storage\_Lite is installed.

This module only exists for backwards compatibility. If your programs use ::Big you should convert them to use Spreadsheet::WritExcel directly.

## REQUIREMENTS

OLE::Storage\_Lite.
