OK, I explained badly!

The Excel file is saved to disk on the linux server.

I use the following commands to get acces to the Excel file

$parser   = Spreadsheet::ParseExcel->new();

$parser   = Spreadsheet::ParseXLSX->new();

I use one of the above depending on whether the file is .xls or .xlsx. Then I use:

my $workbook = $parser->parse($FileName);

It's the next part that is causing the problem. currently I loop through all worksheets with

for my $worksheet ( $workbook->worksheets() )

But I really only want to work with the active worksheet.
