$Sheet->Range('A17')->Select();
$Sheet->Selection->Copy('A17');
$Sheet->Range('B15')->Select();
$Sheet->ActiveSheet->Paste();

    Try if it works:

    $range1=$sheet->range('A17');

    $Sheet->copy($range1);

    $range2=$sheet->range('B15');

    $range2=$sheet->paste();

    This piece of code doesn't work because "Selection" is a method of the parent Excel application, not the sheet.

    So if you had, in the beginning of your code:

    my $XcelApp = Win32::OLE->new( 'Excel.Application' );

    [download]

    Then the second line in your post should go:

    $XcelApp->Selection->Copy('A17');
