This is what I tried 
use strict;
use warnings;
use Win32;
use Win32::OLE;
use Win32::OLE qw(in with);
use Win32::OLE::Const 'Microsoft Excel';
$Win32::OLE::Warn =2;           

my $excel = Win32::OLE->new('Excel.Application', 'Quit');  
$excel->{Visible} = 1;

my $xls = $excel->Workbooks->Open('c:/work/report1.xls'); 

foreach my $sheet ( in $xls->Worksheets ) 
{
    my $current_sheet = $sheet->Name, $/;
    print "Processing => $current_sheet\n"; 
    
}

the correct result were returned with the following warning 

Useless use of a variable in void context at C:\Perl\tool6.pl line 16.

Nor sure what the warning is for! and what does /$ do? And if there is a way to obtain the names of the sheets directly rather than using a temp variable?

Thanks
