I'm unable to get my script to extract data from a spreadsheet using the logic in the script below. I receive the following error when trying to open the workbook:

Global symbol "@file" requires explicit package name at line 7.

I've even tried initializing the array with no values and receive different errors... 

Here's the script I'm trying...
use strict;
use Win32::OLE;


my $excel = Win32::OLE-> new ('Excel.Application', 'Quit') or die ("Ca
+n't create object: ", Win32::OLE->LastError());
my $file = 'C:\EndPoint scripts\test.xls';
my $workbook = $excel->Workbooks->Open(@file) or die ("Can't open Work
+book: ", Win32::OLE->LastError());
my $worksheet = $workbook->Worksheets(1);
my $range = $worksheet->Range("A1:B2") -> {'Value'};
$workbook -> close;
foreach my $row (@$range) {
    foreach my $cell (@$row)  {
        print "$cell\t";
        }
    print "\n";
}
