This is a possible solution. If you want to provide the input file names in the command line read perlvar and search for 'ARGV'.
use strict; use Spreadsheet::ParseExcel; use Spreadsheet::WriteExcel; my $parser = Spreadsheet::ParseExcel->new(); #Creating Object to Read +Worksheet my @files = qw/ Infile1.xls Infile2.xls Infile3.xls Infile4.xls /; my $write_workbook = new Spreadsheet::WriteExcel('Resultfile.xls'); my $n = 1; foreach my $file (@files) { my $parse_workbook = $parser->parse($file); my $write_worksheet = $write_workbook->add_worksheet("Sheet$n"); if ( !defined $parse_workbook) { die $parser->error(), ".\n"; } for my $parse_worksheet ( $parse_workbook->worksheets() ) { my ( $row_min, $row_max ) = $parse_worksheet->row_range(); my ( $col_min, $col_max ) = $parse_worksheet->col_range(); for my $row ( $row_min .. $row_max ) { for my $col ( $col_min .. $col_max ) { my $cell = $parse_worksheet->get_cell( $row, $col ); next unless $cell; my $cell_value = $cell->value(); my $cell_format = $cell->get_format(); $write_worksheet->write($row, $col, $cell_value); } } } $n++; }
