Hello, I am using Active Perl 5.8.0 Build 819 and have created a program which will parse data out of a MS Access DB. I am then taking the data parsed and output it formated in Excel using the Win32::OLE. The problem I am having is when I try to generate a Line Graph. I got some sample code and was trying it but seems like I get an error when running it. The error is the following:

Can't call method "SetSourceData" without a package or object reference at Processor.pl line 893.

The Code I am using is as follows: 
use OLE;
use Win32::OLE qw(in with);
use Win32::OLE::Const "Microsoft Excel";
use Win32::OLE::Variant;
use Win32::OLE::NLS qw(:LOCALE :DATE);

$Excel = Win32::OLE->GetActiveObject('Excel.Application')||Win32::OLE-
+>new('Excel.Application','Quit');
$Excel->{DisplayAlerts}=0;
$Excel->{SheetsInNewWorkbook} = 16;
$Book = $Excel->Workbooks->Add;

$mcr_crtab_chart_sheet_name = "CreateTime_Chart";

$chart_sheet = $Book->Worksheets(16);
$chart_sheet->{Name} = $mcr_crtab_chart_sheet_name;

  $mcr_crtime_chart = $Excel->Charts-Add;
  $mcr_crtime_chart->{ChartType} = xlLineMarkers; # or 65
  $mcr_crtime_chart->SetSourceData({Source => $mcrsa_crtab_sheet->Rang
+e("B1:F12"),PlotBy => xlColumns});
  $range_1 = $mcrsa_crtab_sheet->Range("C2:C$row");
  $range_2 = $mcrsa_crtab_sheet->Range("D2:D$row");
  $mcr_crtime_chart->SeriesCollection(1)->LetProperty('XValues',$range
+_1);
  $mcr_crtime_chart->SeriesCollection(1)->{Name} = "Series1";
  $mcr_crtime_chart->SeriesCollection(2)->LetProperty('XValues',$range
+_2);
  $mcr_crtime_chart->SeriesCollection(2)->{Name} = "Series2";
  $mcr_crtime_chart->SeriesCollection(1)->ApplyDataLabels( { AutoText 
+=> 1,ShowValue => 1 } );
  $mcr_crtime_chart->SeriesCollection(2)->ApplyDataLabels( { AutoText 
+=> 1,ShowValue => 1 } );

  $mcr_crtime_chart->{HasLegend} = 1;
  $mcr_crtime_chart->Legend->{Position} = xlRight;
  $mcr_crtime_chart->{HasTitle} = 1;
  $mcr_crtime_chart->ChartTitle->{Text} = "CreateTime";
  $mcr_crtime_chart->Axes(xlCategory,xlPrimary)->{HasTitle} = 1;
  $mcr_crtime_chart->Axes(xlCategory,xlPrimary)->AxisTitle->{Text} = "
+Create Time (sec)";
  $mcr_crtime_chart->Location({Where=> xlLocationAsObject, Name=> $mcr
+_crtab_chart_sheet_name});
  $Excel->{ActiveChart}->{Parent}->{top} = 10;
  $Excel->{ActiveChart}->{Parent}->{left} = 10;
