You can read the the documentation, but I'm guessing you will need to close the workbook before the changes take effect.  So your choices are probably limited to:

  1. Closing the workbook at end of the program
  2. Closing it after writing, and (if need be) reading it back with Spreadsheet::ParseExcel.
