I have 2 files. One file contains the variables and values it's in the form of excel sheet. The second file contains the mathematical equation in .txt format. My code has to evaluate the formula in a .txt file line by line using the values from the values extracted for the excel sheet. Note: Each line can contain a different formula.

  use strict;
  use diagnostics;
  use warnings;
  use Spreadsheet::ParseXLSX;
  
  my %data; #initializing hash

  my $logfile = $ARGV[0]; #Take the file from command line
  my $parser   = Spreadsheet::ParseXLSX->new(); #Initialize Parser
  my $workbook = $parser->parse($logfile); #Assign the .xlsx file to b
+e parsed

  if ( !defined $workbook ) {
        die $parser->error(), ".\n"; #Kill parser if .xlsx file not pr
+esent
    }

    for my $worksheet ( $workbook->worksheets() ) { #Loop till end of 
+worksheet

        my ( $row_min, $row_max ) = $worksheet->row_range();  #Getting
+ max and min row
        my ( $col_min, $col_max ) = $worksheet->col_range();  #Getting
+ max and min col

        for my $row ( $row_min .. $row_max ) {  #Loop till max row in 
+a sheet
            for my $col ( $col_min .. $col_max ) {  #Loop till max col
+ in a sheet

                #Adding Hash Elements from Excel
                my $name_add = $worksheet->get_cell( $row, $col+2 );
                next unless $name_add;
                my $cell_add = $worksheet->get_cell( $row, $col+3 );
                next unless $cell_add;
                my $name = $field_name_add->value();
                my $val = $cell_add->value();                  
                $data{$name} = $val ;
              }
          }
      }      
 

  #=======================================Reading_Formula_File========
+===============================
  my $formulae = $ARGV[1];
  open ( RD, $formulae ) or die "Couldnt open file $formulae, $!";
   
   while ( $_ = <RD>){
   
   eval $_;
   
   printf("%s",$z);
   
    }

The expression does not evaluate at all. I am a newbie in Perl.
