Gracious and wise monks, I seek your assistance in converting this macro to Perl code: 
Sub Macro1()
    Range("A1:A3").Select
    Selection.FormatConditions.AddColorScale ColorScaleType:=3
    Selection.FormatConditions(Selection.FormatConditions.Count).SetFi
+rstPriority
    Selection.FormatConditions(1).ColorScaleCriteria(1).Type = xlCondi
+tionValueLowestValue
    With Selection.FormatConditions(1).ColorScaleCriteria(1).FormatCol
+or
        .Color = 8109667
        .TintAndShade = 0
    End With
    Selection.FormatConditions(1).ColorScaleCriteria(2).Type = xlCondi
+tionValuePercentile
    Selection.FormatConditions(1).ColorScaleCriteria(2).Value = 50
    With Selection.FormatConditions(1).ColorScaleCriteria(2).FormatCol
+or
        .Color = 8711167
        .TintAndShade = 0
    End With
    Selection.FormatConditions(1).ColorScaleCriteria(3).Type = xlCondi
+tionValueHighestValue
    With Selection.FormatConditions(1).ColorScaleCriteria(3).FormatCol
+or
        .Color = 7039480
        .TintAndShade = 0
    End With
End Sub

I'm pretty much in the same boat as the user who asked about Win32::OLE Excel Perl Documentation (http://www.perlmonks.org/?node_id=1032678). I see from monk guidance on that thread that I need to check out the VBA Object Browser in Excel and the MSDN Win32::OLE Object Browser. I understand that object.method(argument).property = value becomes object->method(argument)->{property} = value; in Perl. That didn't get me too far into translating this block, though. If someone has the time and expertise to translate this to Perl, I'd greatly appreciate it as I'm in a bit of a time crunch and having one good example to go with the object browser will help with all the other automation of this Win32::OLE type that I'm embarking on for the first time. Thank you for considering my request.
