I am trying to save each worksheet(tab) in an Excel worksheet as a PDF or PNG. Here is what I have so far (doesn't work though). Can anyone help?

Note: I found the Excel constants at http://www.convert-files.com/SII/Convert-XLS/English/WebHelp/command_line_manual/file_type_constants/rhid_excel_conversion_file_type_constants.htm so I tried -1 as the FileFormat but it did not work.

Update: If this is not possible, is there a way to save the entire xlx file as PDF? 

#!c:\perl\bin
use strict;
use Win32::OLE;
use Win32::OLE qw(in with);
use Win32::OLE::Variant;
use Win32::OLE::Const 'Microsoft Excel';
my $Excel = Win32::OLE->GetActiveObject('Excel.Application') ||
       Win32::OLE->new('Excel.Application');
$Excel->{'Visible'} = 1;        #0 is hidden, 1 is visible
$Excel->{DisplayAlerts}=1;    #0 is hide alerts

# Open File and Worksheet
my $Book = $Excel->Workbooks->Open('C:\temp\XLS\test.xls');
my $cnt=0;
foreach my $Worksheet (in $Book->{Worksheets}){
    $cnt++;
    my $filename="C:\temp\XLS\test2\_$cnt.pdf";
    print "saving $filename\n";
    #HOW DO I SAVE THIS worksheet as a PDF or a PNG???
    $Worksheet->SaveAs({Filename =>$filename,FileFormat => -1});
    }

# Save as Excel
$Book->Close();
$Excel->Quit();
exit;
