Hi PerlMonks! Excited to be here.

I'm currently trying to put the multiple .xls files(5, sometimes 20) into (one.xls) (as worksheets in it).

Then I will send it out as attachment in email.

As Idk how to put the sheetname according to my xls filename, so I rename the sheets in the code.

Here is what I've got after reviewing CPAN forum + available resources on the Internet.

use strict;
use warning;
use Spreadsheet::WriteExcel;
use Spreadsheet::ParseExcel;

my $path = '/abc';

my $te = "$path/texas";
my $mi = "$path/michigan";
my $ha = "$path/hawaii";
my $fl = "$path/florida";
my $ke = "$path/kentucky";


my $excl  = Spreadsheet::WriteExcel->new("$path/one.xls");
die "Cannot create new Excel file: $!" unless defined $excl;

my $parser = new Spreadsheet::ParseExcel;

for my $source ( "$te/te.xls", "$mi/mi.xls", 
         "$ha/ha.xls", "$fl/fl.xls", 
         "$ke/ke.xls" ){
    my $book = $parser->parse($source);
    
    if ( !defined $book ) {
    die $parser->error(), ".\n";
    }
    
my $file; 
my $source = $book->add_worksheet($source);
    
    if ($source =~ /1/) {
        $file  = $excl->add_worksheet('TX'); 
    }
    elsif ($source =~ /2/) {
        $file = $excl->add_worksheet('MI');

        $file = $excl->add_worksheet('HI'); 
    }

    }
    elsif ($source =~ /5/) {
        $file = $excl->add_worksheet('KY'); 
    }
 

my $all = $file;

for my $parse_worksheet ( $excl->source() ) {
my ( $row_min, $row_max ) = $source->row_range();
my ( $col_min, $col_max ) = $source->col_range();

    for my $row ( $row_min .. $row_max ) {
        for my $col ( $col_min .. $col_max ) {
            my $cell = $source->get_cell( $row, $col );
            next unless $cell; 
            $all->write( $row , $col, $cell->unformatted );
        }
    }
}
}

$excl->close();

The code is now clean without errors.
I have tried to export the new file, but the excel file has only one s
+heet with Empty data. sad
I did tried to export one of the xls file, and yes Im getting the one 
+sheet with contents.
Can anyone please help me out? 
I'm still new to Perl, so I don't have any idea what I did wrong in th
+e code.

Also, is it possible to achieve what I want?

Is there anything else wrong in the script that will make it not worked?

I'm working this in Linux Perl 5.8.8. Thanks in advanced for any advice.
