Hi, How to Modify and Rewrite existing Excel Files in perl? I tried below but not looking worthy. Please help. 
#!/usr/bin/perl –w
use strict;
use Spreadsheet::WriteExcel;

# Create a new Excel file
my $FileName = “/home/selva/Report.xls";
my $workbook = Spreadsheet::WriteExcel->new($FileName);

# Add a worksheet
my $worksheet1 = $workbook->add_worksheet('PERL’);

# Define the format and add it to the worksheet
my $format = $workbook->add_format(
center_across => 1,
bold => 1,
size => 10,
border => 4,
color => 'black',
bg_color => 'cyan',
border_color => 'black',
align => 'vcenter',
);

# Change width for only first column
$worksheet1->set_column(0,0,20);

# Write a formatted and unformatted string, row and column
# notation.
$worksheet1->write(0,0, "PERL FLAVOURS", $format);
$worksheet1->write(1,0,"Active State PERL");
$worksheet1->write(2,0,"Strawberry PERL");
$worksheet1->write(3,0,"Vennila PERL");
