Given a source of saved Gnumeric data, Spreadsheet::ReadGnumeric parses it and returns the result in the same format as Spreadsheet::Read. In fact, Spreadsheet::Read has a few more bells and whistles, such as transposing the resulting sheets and providing an object-oriented interface to the resulting data, so it may be easier to access this module through Spreadsheet::Read, even if you only want to parse Gnumeric data. Note that Gnumeric only saves raw cell values, and not their formatted versions. In particular, Gnumeric saves formulas, and not formula values, never mind formatted formula values.
