}

Trying to create a perl script to take in data from on Excel file($Obook), store it into an array. then compare portions of that array to columns in the second book($book).

and it would be compared to columns in the other excel file that will contain the same data. It will make sure the first value(array[0][n]) is equal to a value in the column, if it is, need to make sure the second value(array[1][n]) is the same and if both of those match. Then write out 3rd value(array[2][n]) to the last column on $book.

Some guidance would be great.
thanks for your help.
