$workbook->worksheet_count()
$workbook->get_filename()
$workbook->get_print_areas()
$workbook->get_print_titles()

worksheets()
The worksheets() method returns an array of Worksheet objects. This was most commonly used to
iterate over the worksheets in a workbook:
for my $worksheet ( $workbook->worksheets() ) {
...
}
worksheet()
The worksheet() method returns a single "Worksheet" object using either its name or index:
$worksheet = $workbook->worksheet('Sheet1');
$worksheet = $workbook->worksheet(0);
Returns "undef" if the sheet name or index doesn't exist.
worksheet_count()
The worksheet_count() method returns the number of Woksheet objects in the Workbook.
my $worksheet_count = $workbook->worksheet_count();
get_filename()
The get_filename() method returns the name of the Excel file of "undef" if the data was read
from a filehandle rather than a file.
my $filename = $workbook->get_filename();
get_print_areas()
The get_print_areas() method returns an array ref of print areas.
my $print_areas = $workbook->get_print_areas();
Each print area is as follows:
[ $start_row, $start_col, $end_row, $end_col ]
Returns undef if there are no print areas.
get_print_titles()
The get_print_titles() method returns an array ref of print title hash refs.
my $print_titles = $workbook->get_print_titles();
Each print title array ref is as follows:
{
Row => [ $start_row, $end_row ],
Column => [ $start_col, $end_col ],
}
Returns undef if there are no print titles.

The using_1904_date() method returns true if the Excel file is using the 1904 date epoch instead
of the 1900 epoch.
my $using_1904_date = $workbook->using_1904_date();
The Windows version of Excel generally uses the 1900 epoch while the Mac version of Excel generally uses the 1904 epoch.
