Dear Gods

How can I extract a cell value in Excel table using Win32::OLE?

Thanks Apologies for the above,...was posted in an error.

However, I have this code 
my $new_book = $Excel->Workbooks->Open("c:\\work\\USA.xls");
my $new_sheet = $new_book->Worksheets("Sheet1");
my $array = $new_sheet->Range("A1:AQ1")->{'Value'}; 
my $counter = 0;

foreach my $ref_array (@$array) 
{
    my $col =0;    
    my $row =2;    
    foreach my $col_heads (@$ref_array) 
    {        
         if ($col_heads eq "")
         {
             $counter++;
             next;             
        }
        print ++$counter. ") $col_heads : ".$new_sheet->Cells($row,$co
+unter)->{'Value'}."\n";
                
    }    
    $row++;
}

I need to assign the value from this line $new_sheet->Cells($row,$counter)->{'Value'} to a variable. but I get this error; 
Win32::OLE(0.1702) error 0x800a03ec
    in METHOD/PROPERTYGET "Cells" at C:\Perl\EDS\TempTool.pl line 111
