$Excel->{Visible} = 1;
my $Book = $Excel->Workbooks->Open($bom_file_directory);

# select worksheet number 1 (you can also select a worksheet by name)
  my $Sheet = $Book->Worksheets(1);

  my $new_bom_txt = "c:/valor/tmp/value.txt";
  my $out_format = "\"xlText\"";
  if ( -e $new_bom_txt) { unlink $new_bom_txt; }

#  $Sheet->SaveAs( $new_bom_txt )->FileFormat = "xlText";
  $Sheet->SaveAs( {
          'FileName' => $new_bom_txt ,
  #        'FileFormat' => $out_format} );
