I was able to create a filter on a spreadsheet using this line:

$Sheet->Range("a$filter_row:z$filter_row")->AutoFilter;

Now I would like to sort on the fifth column (column "E") descending. I created a macro in Excel that did just that, but am unable to figure out how to translate it into Perl. The macro looks like this: 

    ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets("A").AutoFilter.Sort.SortFields.Clear
    ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets("A").AutoFilter.Sort.SortFields.Add Key:
+=Range _
        ("E29"), SortOn:=xlSortOnValues, Order:=xlDescending, DataOpti
+on:= _
        xlSortNormal
    With ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets("A").AutoFilter.Sort
        .Header = xlYes
        .MatchCase = False
        .Orientation = xlTopToBottom
        .SortMethod = xlPinYin
        .Apply
    End With

Any suggestions would be appreciated!
