Default Must convert 500+ xls files to txt (tsv)




I need to convert 500+ xls spreadsheet files to tab-separated text
files. How can I automate this process? I am VB illiterate, though
I'm handy with Perl, so if there's a way to convert an xls file to
tsv on the command line I could use Perl to automate this. Anyway,
any advice appreciated.
