Change: 

foreach my $link ( @links ) { 
  my $url = "q{internal:'$link'!A1}";

  $worksheet1->write_url ( $row,$col, $url,$label );
  $row++;
  $col++;
}

Into: 

foreach my $link ( @links ) { 
  my $url = "internal:'$link'!A1";

  $worksheet1->write_url ( $row,$col, $url,$label );
  $row++;
  $col++;
}

I'm guessing your confusing comes from looking at the examples in Spreadsheet::WriteExcel and not knowing q() and qq().

The examples from Spreadsheet::WriteExcel: 

    $worksheet->write_url('A6',  'internal:Sheet2!A1'                 
+  );
    $worksheet->write_url('A7',  'internal:Sheet2!A1',   $format      
+  );
    $worksheet->write_url('A8',  'internal:Sheet2!A1:B2'              
+  );
    $worksheet->write_url('A9',  q{internal:'Sales Data'!A1}          
+  );

I'm guessing the $worksheet->write_url('A9',  q{internal:'Sales Data'!A1}); confused you but it means exactly the same as : $worksheet->write_url('A9',  'internal:\'Sales Data\'!A1');

In essence: q(foo) is the same 'foo' which is the same as q{foo} (that is: single quotes but you get to choose the delimiter).
qq(foo) is the same 'foo' which is the same as qq{foo} (that is: double quotes but you get to choose the delimiter).

I tested this by creating an xls file via Spreadsheet::WriteExcel and opening it in OpenOffice. Don't have access to Microsoft Excel at the moment of this writing.
