Oh Venerables Keepers of Perl Wisdom, I have a question with regard to accessing Excel 2010 cells through Spreadsheet::XLSX and Spreadsheet::Read modules, though the answer may be more generally relevant.

I am currently accessing a cell in a sheet within the workbook using syntax:

$yield = $sheet->{'F35'};

with no issue. What I would like to do is something like:

my @mycols = ('F', 'G', 'H', 'I', 'J', 'K');

foreach (@mycols) {

$yield$_ = $sheet->{'$_35'};

}

so I can access cells F35, G35, H35, I35, J35 and K35. I have tried many variations on '$_35' to no avail and loath the existence of near identical lines in my code, and cannot come to terms with "Perl can't do it".

Does anyone have insight any insight on how to do this?

Best,

Hamid.
