in thread undefined value as a HASH reference??

Is it possible that the Range("A6") call is returning undef? Hoewver, that does not explain why it works after you assign it to a scalar. Perhaps the thing returned by Range() is a tied hash? Can you print out the result of the following: 

my $range = $Sheet->Range("A6");
print STDERR "Ref:  ", ref($range),  "\n";
print STDERR "Tied: ", tied($range), "\n";

    I did you one better and added print STDERR "Range:  $range\n"; into the mix. Here's the output: 
    Range: Win32::OLE=HASH(0x245b554)
Ref:   Win32::OLE
Tied:

    Update: Further investigation shows that wrapping an eval around the hash like so: 

    $Sheet->Range("A6")->{'Value'}  = eval { $var_ref->{results}{'Legal'} 
+};

    Also executes without error.
