=head1 NAME

extract_vba - A utility to extract a VBA project from an Excel 2007+ xlsm file.

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This utility is used  to extract the VBA project binary from an Excel 2007+ xlsm file. The VBA project can then be added to an L<Excel::Writer::XLSX> file to enable it to have macros.

An C<xlsm> file is a version of an Excel C<xlsx> file that contains an additional VBA project binary file. The C<xlsm> file format is a collection of mainly XML files in a ZIP container.

The extracted VBA project is an OLE Compound Document in binary format. It is named C<vbaProject.bin> and is generally located in the C<xl> directory of the C<xlsm> file.

See the C<add_vba_project()> section of the  L<Excel::Writer::XLSX> documentation for more details.

Note: you can also extract the VBA project from an C<xlsm> file using the standard Linux C<unzip> command:

    unzip -j macro01.xlsm xl/vbaProject.bin

On Windows you can use any suitable Unzip application.


=head1 SYNOPSIS
