That code gives these errors

Scalar found where operator expected at excel.pl line 57, near "$colmin
                 $worksheet1"
        (Missing operator before $worksheet1?)
Global symbol "$worksheet1" requires explicit package name at excel.pl line 27.
Bareword "i" not allowed while "strict subs" in use at excel.pl line 27.
syntax error at excel.pl line 27, near "i write"
syntax error at excel.pl line 57, near "$colmin
                 $worksheet1"
Global symbol "$worksheet1" requires explicit package name at excel.pl line 57.
