Hi,

First, a quick note: you do not need to do any of the Exporter stuff at the top. You probably want connect called like:

Excel::Tabbed->connect('file');
#  or
connect Excel::Tabbed 'file';

[download]

In either case, you are calling connect through the package Excel::Tabbed. So, you do not want to export it.

What you are doing is ok, but could be cleaned up a bit: 

....
my ($self,$args) = @_;  # Should that be @args, not $args
my $find = $self->{where};            
$find->{name} = 'test'; # You didn't need the {} around find.

[download]

So this looks fine. Are you having problems? You don't describe how it is not working.
