Hi Shanmugam,
Use the ParseExcel module to parse through the excel sheet and get information in text.
Sort in the information in perl as usual and write it back to the excel using WriteExcel.
Downloading these modules gives you lots of examples on how to use them.
You can also use an application known as xls2txt if you do not want to write back to excel.

Thank you Natti, that's exactly how he should do it. Here are a couple links to the CPAN modules that Natti was referring.

cpan Spreadsheet::ParseExcel
cpan Spreadsheet::WriteExcel
