I've never used it before, but there is a piece to Excel called Microsoft query that allows you to query the database directly. Check help in Excel, search for query -> ways to retreive data from external sources.
HTH,

If you're keen on Perl, the Spreadsheet-WriteExcel module is very handy:
http://search.cpan.org/~jmcnamara/Spreadsheet-WriteExcel-0.42/
With that you could slurp data out via DBI, and then build a customized spreadsheet based on the data.
But I'd agree with what others have said. Dumping to csv, or some other delimited format and then importing into Excel would probably be the easiest way to go.
