if it's jmcnamara's Spreadsheet-ParseExcel simply reading the docs for v. 0.58 would tell you that adding Hyperlink support is a "TODO"
So too, in Spreadsheet-ParseExcel-0.2603
OTOH, albeit with reference to writing, not reading, "the Spreadsheet::WriteExcel Perl module can be used to create a cross-platform Excel binary file. Multiple worksheets can be added to a workbook and formatting can be applied to cells. Text, numbers, formulas, hyperlinks (emphasis supplied), images and charts can be written to the cells."
What does "doesn't seem to work" mean?
If you're seeing error messages, pray tell; if not, explain
Is there any reason to question your data -- content, encoding, existence?
