Not directly re Win32::OLE (the use of which seems to me [YMMV] "the hard way to achieve your results"), but have you read perldoc perlvar (from your CLI)? It describes the List Separator.

You can read about the Decimal Separator in perldoc perldata.

Converting commas to semicolons (and vice versa) is a trivial job with regexen; making sure that you don't convert non-delimiting instances of either is something your can read about in the results of an appropriate Super Search.

As always, the local value system recommends trying to find answers on your own rather than a posting a question in the form of yours... and rejecting use of well-established (tried-and-true) modules is not likely to enhance the response.

Update: Forgot to mention: Super_Search can also find nodes|threads like Thousand and decimal separators with Spreadsheet::WriteExcel.
