Personally, I've never been a big user of macros. Even when manually using Excel, I'm not sure that I've ever tried using a macros that is from workbook A within workbook B.

I've got two thoughts/suggestions.

First, you mention that you "need to call that macros from .xlsm file in other workbooks". However, you only opened one Excel file. Unless you're opening both files in the same Excel session, I don't think you'll see much success.

Secondly, forget about Perl and your script for a moment. Can you open Excel and manually do the task that you're trying to do? If you can, try to record a macro that does it and then work on converting that code (VB) into Perl. If you can't do the task manually, you may need to look into copying the macros to add it to the other files and then using the macros that is local to the file.
