Spreadsheet-ParseExcel - Script Fails to Parse (access) Excel Spreadsheet

| Script Fails to Parse (access) Excel Spreadsheet |
|
I am attempting to convert a script I found on google to my purposes: (http://www.linuxjournal.com/content/reading-native-excel-files-perl).
My script doesn't seem to actually read the spreadsheet I am specifying so I don't get any of my print statements after line 35. My output is as foll0ws:
Sinn:/lebensraum/perl # ./excel.syr.extract.pl
<code>\lebensraum\perl\SAMReport.xls
Made it so far
HASH(0xc682e0)
So my $worksheet variable prints as a HASH - which could be right but seems wrong to me. I have added a bunch of print statements in an effort to debug the problem, but most of those don't print.
The DBI connection and insert statements work so I am not concerned about my mysql connection.
My sense is the
$workbook = Spreadsheet::ParseExcel::Workbook->Parse("\\lebensraum\\perl\\SAMReport.xls")or die "Un
+able to open $file\n";
statement is failing somehow but not in a way that reports an error. However, I am new to this module so I could easily be doing something else wrong. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
