I am trying to accomplish the following below using Perl. I am trying to learn scripting with perl. I am trying to make changes to excel file as if it was a database in MySQL.

• A connection to a database
• A query from the database that returns all of the servers that have status of production
• An insert into the database that adds a new server to the table with ("PERLBD4",128.33.23.198, "Development")
• An update to the database that changes PERLDB2 from development status to production status
• A delete on the database that removes the record information for PERLDB1 because it is no longer in service

#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;

my $strawberryLibPath = 'C:/Strawberry/perl/lib';
my $vendorLibPath = 'C:/Strawberry/perl/vendor/lib';

use Excel::Writer::XLSX;
use Spreadsheet::ParseExcel;
use Spreadsheet::ParseXLSX;
use Excel::Writer::XLSX;

use DBI;
use DBD::mysql;


#connecting to database
my $parseExcel = spreadsheet::ParseExcel->new();
my $eparser = $parseExcel->parse 'C:\Users\fefe\Documents\CS 260\Big_D
+ata_Servers_Table'

#query with a for loop
for my $worksheet ( $eparser->worksheet() )    {
    my ($row_min, $row_max) = $worksheet->row_range();
    my ($col_min, $col_max) = $worksheet->col_range();
    
    for my $row ($row_min .. $row_max) {
        for my $col ($col_min .. $col_max)
        my $cell - $worksheet->get_cell($row,$col);
        next unless $cell;

        print "Row, Col - ($row, $col)\n";
        print "value =", $cell->value (), "\n";
        }
    }    

#adding & subtracting information in database
my $worksheet = $eParser->worksheet (0);
$worksheet->AddCell ( A , 5 , 'PERLDB4');
$worksheet->AddCell ( B , 5 , '128.33.23.198')
$worksheet->AddCell ( C , 5 , 'Development');
$worksheet->SubtractCell ( A , 2 , ");
$worksheet->SubtractCell ( B , 2 , ");
$worksheet->SubtractCell ( C , 2 , ");
