I needed to work with excel files to fill in some details. So I preferred "Spreadsheet::WriteExcel" which has very good interfaces and documentation. Thank you.. Now I had to write an utility which fills in Excel sheet according to my requirement. So whatever functionalities(functions ex: writeCell) required for me are kept in that utility(excelUtil.pm) file so that those functions can be called from wherever(from other files like testExce.pl) required. Sample files are attached - testExcel.pl and excelUtil.pm When I am executing testExcel.pl, "write" function is not writing to excel file if "writeCell" is called from testExcel.pl. If "write " is called from "excelUtil.pm", then it is writing properly. Requesting you to help me regarding this

excelUtil.pm 

package excelUtil; 

use Exporter;
use strict;
use Spreadsheet::WriteExcel;

use vars qw(@ISA @EXPORT);

@ISA    = qw(Exporter);
@EXPORT = qw(writeCell);

## Excel workbook
my $workbook = Spreadsheet::WriteExcel->new("Sample.xls");

## worksheet
my $worksheet = $workbook->add_worksheet("test");

## Functions
sub writeCell {
    my ($row, $col, $str) = @_;

    print "Writing Cell \n";
    $worksheet->write($row, $col, $str);
}

writeCell(1, 2, "testing, Row-1, Col-2");

1;
