I tried to break linking for about 1/2 hour and failed to repeat your error, without recalculating the sheet and without $Book->UpdateLink({Name=> $Book->{LinkSources}}); So, allow me to suggest a course of action, if you please.

Debug a little using Win32::OLE->LastError(). After you try to open your files, print Win32::OLE->LastError()."\n";, after you try to get the values, print Win32::OLE->LastError()."\n"; You get the idea.

Something is happening that you are making assumptions about, and I think somewhere your assumptions are wrong, or as Inigo would say "I do not think it means what you think it means."

Perhaps if you built an example that breaks but doesn't use proprietary files such that you could post the code. As I say, I tried to replicate your error using the code given without any luck, and I can post my code if you like to double check my understanding vs. your meaning.
