Hello perl wizards, I'd like to add a range of values I have in an array of arrays into a range of cells in an Excel spreadsheet; I wrote the following but it fails: 
use Win32::OLE;

eval {$excel = Win32::OLE->GetActiveObject('Excel.Application')};
die "Excel not installed" if $@;
unless (defined $excel) 
{
  $excel = Win32::OLE->new('Excel.Application', sub {$_[0]->Quit;})
    or die "Oops, cannot start Excel";
}

$workbook = $excel->Workbooks->Open(getcwd() . "/test.xlsx");
$worksheet = $workbook->Worksheets(1);
@matrix = ( [0, 1], [2, 3] );

$worksheet->Range("B5:C6")->{Value} = @matrix;

$worksheet->Save;

The code above updates the cells B5:C6 with (2, 2, 2, 2) instead of (0, 1, 2, 3) ... what I'm doing wrong?
