browser-based survey to excel or access

Are there macperl modules to help input data into excel or access? 
Can we even get access on a mac?  A potential client suggested excel 
or access because they want to do a lot of statistical analysis but 
since I don't know re: mySQL either, it's hard to know what to 
recommend and what would have the fastest learning curve.  Also, I 
don't know what their server is. Any thoughts or help would be great.
