..oddly enough, after pushing the value into the {Val} and {_Value} fields, I figured I was good to go. But I then used: 
my @row=$page->next_row;

and all of the vals I propagated in are missing.

Yet if I inspect the cell Val at the row and col, they are all correct. So I had to manually push values into the array: 

for ( my $c=0; $c<=$maxCol; $c++ ) {
 next if $row[$c] =~ /./;
 $row[$c]=$page->{sheet}->[$row]->[$c]->{Val};
}

Sure didn't expect that! * * * Followup- not sure why I was seeing that- but now everything is behaving without that step.. YAY thanks guys you were all a great help.
