Can anybody help me with this reply Re: Delete a sheet from Excelwhere should i include the statement "Application. DisplayAlerts = FALSE" it doese not look like perl code so what should i do to disable the confirmation msg when i delete a woksheet from excel via perl

This is my code

use warnings;
use Win32::OLE;

my $xl = Win32::OLE->new('Excel.Application', 'Quit');
    $path ="C:\\Perl\\Copy of path1.xlsx";

my $wb             = $xl->Workbooks->Open($path);
my @excel_del_sheets     = ("Sheet4", "Sheet5", "Sheet6");

for (my $shtNo = $wb->Sheets->{Count}; $shtNo > 0; $shtNo--) 
{
    my $shtName = $wb->Sheets($shtNo)->{Name};
    if (grep(/^$shtName$/, @excel_del_sheets)) 
    {
        $wb->Sheets($shtNo)->Delete;
    }
}
    $wb->{DisplayAlerts}=0;
    $wb -> Close;

Update: I found i din change the object for calling {DisplayAlerts}=0;thanks to all monks

Udate: When i disabled the alert the deleted excel worksheet din got save its still there only and only the alert msg has got hidden...</p.

Update: I am unable to delete particular worksheets when i delete few sheets manualy its asking me a prompt like "There exists some data on your sheet do you want to permanently delete this sheet" will that be a possibility for not deleting my particular sheets???

My coe again

use warnings;
use Win32::OLE;

my $xl = Win32::OLE->new('Excel.Application', 'Quit');
    $path ="C:\\Perl\\Copy of path1.xlsx";

my $wb             = $xl->Workbooks->Open($path);
my @excel_del_sheets     = ("Sheet4", "Sheet5", "Sheet6");

for (my $shtNo = $wb->Sheets->{Count}; $shtNo > 0; $shtNo--) 
{
    my $shtName = $wb->Sheets($shtNo)->{Name};
    if (grep(/^$shtName$/, @excel_del_sheets)) 
    {
        $wb->Sheets($shtNo)->Delete;
