Change that line to be:

use Win32::OLE::Const "Microsoft Excel .* Object Library";
use Win32::OLE::Const "Microsoft Office .* Object Library";

That should work regardless of which version of Office is installed.

However, I'd like to point out that some functions change between versions of Office. That might create some issues for you if you're not anticipating those changes. (Speaking from personal experience on this.)

UPDATE:Corrected the use statement to call the correct object library. Left original with strike through for historical reference.
