Hello all, I am using strawberry perl. Facing some issues. 

#! usr/bin/perl -w
#use,strict;

use Spreadsheet::WriteExcel;
use Spreadsheet::ParseExcel;    

my $workbook;
my @labels = ('Parameter_Name','Parameter_Index','Storage_Class','Data
+_Type','min_range_value','max_range_value','default_value','test_valu
+e','mode_for_write','access_rights','view1','view2','view3','view4');


    $workbook = Spreadsheet::WriteExcel->new('perl.xls');    
    $worksheet = $workbook->add_worksheet();                        

    for($for=0;$for<13;$for++)
        {
                $worksheet->write(0,$for,$labels[$for]);
            #    print($for);
            #    print($labels[$for]);
        }



&get_max_row_col();
sub get_max_row_col()
{
     my $parser   = Spreadsheet::ParseExcel->new();    
     my $workbook1 = $parser->parse('perl.xls');
     
     for my $worksheet ( $workbook1->worksheet(0) ) 
        {
            my ( $row_min, $row_max ) = $worksheet->row_range();     #
+ Find out the worksheet ranges
            my ( $col_min, $col_max ) = $worksheet->col_range();

            print ("max_rows = $row_max \n");
            print ("max_cols = $col_max \n");
        }    
}

when i compile this code it gives me an error saying (C:\Users\Ambar.Alandkar\Desktop\Ambar\Perl-Test>perl XL_Handling.pl Can't call method "worksheet" on an undefined value at XL_Handling.pl line 29.) but when i run the get_max_row_col() subroutine code making a separate file it works well without any error. Is there anything missing or wrong in implementation.? Please help.
