I'm trying to create a log file, to log phone numbers in the file that aren't 10 digits, been searching the documentation on adding an array variable into the log file, but had no such luck , I need some guidance.

# Read in all rows from existing file
    my $rows = read_excel($in_file);
    
    my $headers = [
    "source_id",
    "first_name",
    "middle",
    "last_name",
    "address1",
    "city",
    "state",
    "postal_code",
    "phone_number",
    "address3",
    "province",
    "email",
    ];
    my $CA_zip = 19005;
    
        
    
    # Update the rows
    for my $row (@$rows) {
        if ($row->[6] eq 'CA' && ! $row->[7]) {
            $row->[7] = $CA_zip;
        }
        elsif ($row->[8] >10 || $row->[8] < 10) {
           my $a = ($rows);
        }
    }

    # add headers as first row
    unshift(@$rows, $headers);

    # Write the updated rows to new file
    my $col_num = scalar @$headers - 1;
    write_excel($out_file, $rows, $col_num);


    sub read_excel {
        my ( $file, $sheet ) = @_;
        $sheet ||= 0;
    
        my $parser = Spreadsheet::ParseXLSX->new();
        my $workbook = $parser->parse($file);
        if ( not defined $workbook ) {
            die $parser->error;
        }
 
        my $worksheet = $workbook->worksheet($sheet);
 
        my ( $row_min, $row_max ) = $worksheet->row_range();
        my ( $col_min, $col_max ) = $worksheet->col_range();
 
        my @rows;
        for my $row ( $row_min .. $row_max ) {
            my @cells;
            for my $col ( $col_min .. $col_max ) {
                my $cell = $worksheet->get_cell( $row, $col );
                if (not $cell) {
                    push(@cells,'');
                    next;
                }
                my $value = $cell->value();
                push(@cells,$value);
            }
            push(@rows,\@cells);
        }
        return \@rows;
    }

    sub write_excel {
        my ( $file, $rows, $col_max ) = @_;
    
        my $workbook = Excel::Writer::XLSX->new( $file );
        if ( not defined $workbook ) {
            die "Could not open file: $!";
        }

        my $worksheet = $workbook->add_worksheet();
        my $worksheet2 = $workbook->add_worksheet();
        my $row_num = 0;

        for my $row ( @$rows ) {
            for my $col (0 .. $col_max) {
                $worksheet->write( $row_num, $col, $row->[$col] );    
            }
            $row_num++;
            use Log::Log4perl qw(get_logger);
                #Defining configuration
            my $config = q(
            log4perl.logger                    = ERROR, FileApp
            log4perl.appender.FileApp          = Log::Log4perl::Append

            );
                #logging behavior

            my $logger = Log::Log4perl::get_logger("");

        return;

• Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

  <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>

• Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
