Set aside that there are several "Excel formats", as the thing chanes its output with every (sub-)release: the native Excel format is not standardized at all and many aspects of it are undisclosed information by Microsoft, so all the information about its format out there in the net are mostly the fruit of (more or less accurate) reverse engineering.
It is doubtful that there is any gain in converting the output to Excel format with any other tool than Excel itself - just feed it a CSV-file and hope for the best (as you should anyways, using M$$-Office).
If you still want to undergo the exertion, you might want to read this document:

I hope this helps.

excel::writer::xlsx::chart::pie
Excel::Writer::XLSX::Chart::Pie(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation Excel::Writer::XLSX::Chart::Pie(3pm)
NAME
Pie - A class for writing Excel Pie charts.
SYNOPSIS
To create a simple Excel file with a Pie chart using Excel::Writer::XLSX:
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use Excel::Writer::XLSX;
my $workbook = Excel::Writer::XLSX->new( 'chart.xlsx' );
my $worksheet = $workbook->add_worksheet();
my $chart = $workbook->add_chart( type => 'pie' );
# Configure the chart.
$chart->add_series(
categories => '=Sheet1!$A$2:$A$7',
values => '=Sheet1!$B$2:$B$7',
);
# Add the worksheet data the chart refers to.
my $data = [
[ 'Category', 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 ],
[ 'Value', 1, 4, 5, 2, 1, 5 ],
];
$worksheet->write( 'A1', $data );
__END__
DESCRIPTION
This module implements Pie charts for Excel::Writer::XLSX. The chart object is created via the Workbook "add_chart()" method:
my $chart = $workbook->add_chart( type => 'pie' );
Once the object is created it can be configured via the following methods that are common to all chart classes:
$chart->add_series();
$chart->set_title();
These methods are explained in detail in Excel::Writer::XLSX::Chart. Class specific methods or settings, if any, are explained below.
Pie Chart Methods
There aren't currently any pie chart specific methods. See the TODO section of Excel::Writer::XLSX::Chart.
A Pie chart doesn't have an X or Y axis so the following common chart methods are ignored.
$chart->set_x_axis();
$chart->set_y_axis();
EXAMPLE
Here is a complete example that demonstrates most of the available features when creating a chart.
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use Excel::Writer::XLSX;
my $workbook = Excel::Writer::XLSX->new( 'chart_pie.xlsx' );
my $worksheet = $workbook->add_worksheet();
my $bold = $workbook->add_format( bold => 1 );
# Add the worksheet data that the charts will refer to.
my $headings = [ 'Category', 'Values' ];
my $data = [
[ 'Apple', 'Cherry', 'Pecan' ],
[ 60, 30, 10 ],
];
$worksheet->write( 'A1', $headings, $bold );
$worksheet->write( 'A2', $data );
# Create a new chart object. In this case an embedded chart.
my $chart = $workbook->add_chart( type => 'pie', embedded => 1 );
# Configure the series. Note the use of the array ref to define ranges:
# [ $sheetname, $row_start, $row_end, $col_start, $col_end ].
$chart->add_series(
name => 'Pie sales data',
categories => [ 'Sheet1', 1, 3, 0, 0 ],
values => [ 'Sheet1', 1, 3, 1, 1 ],
);
# Add a title.
$chart->set_title( name => 'Popular Pie Types' );
# Set an Excel chart style. Colors with white outline and shadow.
$chart->set_style( 10 );
# Insert the chart into the worksheet (with an offset).
$worksheet->insert_chart( 'C2', $chart, 25, 10 );
