excel can so easily export and import tab-separated data that there's little point installing 19,000 perl modules and writing 3,000 lines of code just to write excel files.
Excel files are more complicated in several ways, too. You have to start worrying about multiple worksheets for instance, formulas, merged columns, and all of that. And the .xlsx files are particularly obnoxious.

DESCRIPTION
Spreadsheet::XLSX::Utility exports utility functions concerned with Excel format setting.
ExcelFmt is used by Spreadsheet::XLSX::Fmt2007.pm which is used by Spreadsheet::XLSX.
Functions
This module can export 3 functions: ExcelFmt, ExcelLocaltime and LocaltimeExcel.
ExcelFmt
$sTxt = ExcelFmt($sFmt, $iData [, $i1904]);
$sFmt is a format string for Excel. $iData is the target value. If $flg1904 is true, this functions assumes that epoch is 1904. $sTxt is
the result.
For more detail and examples, please refer sample/chkFmt.pl in this distribution.
ex.
ExcelLocaltime
($iSec, $iMin, $iHour, $iDay, $iMon, $iYear, $iwDay, $iMSec) =
ExcelLocaltime($iExTime [, $flg1904]);
ExcelLocaltime converts time information in Excel format into Perl localtime format. $iExTime is a time of Excel. If $flg1904 is true,
this functions assumes that epoch is 1904. $iSec, $iMin, $iHour, $iDay, $iMon, $iYear, $iwDay are same as localtime. $iMSec means
1/1,000,000 seconds(ms).
LocaltimeExcel
$iExTime = LocaltimeExcel($iSec, $iMin, $iHour, $iDay, $iMon, $iYear [,$iMSec] [,$flg1904])
LocaltimeExcel converts time information in Perl localtime format into Excel format . $iSec, $iMin, $iHour, $iDay, $iMon, $iYear are same
as localtime.
If $flg1904 is true, this functions assumes that epoch is 1904. $iExTime is a time of Excel.
col2int
$iInt = col2int($sCol);
converts a excel row letter into an int for use in an array
This function was contributed by Kevin Mulholland.
int2col
$sCol = int2col($iRow);
convert a column number into column letters NOET: This is quite a brute force coarse method does not manage values over 701 (ZZ)
This function was contributed by Kevin Mulholland.
sheetRef
($iRow, $iCol) = sheetRef($sStr);
convert an excel letter-number address into a useful array address NOTE: That also Excel uses X-Y notation, we normally use Y-X in arrays
$sStr, excel coord (eg. A2).
This function was contributed by Kevin Mulholland.
xls2csv
$sCsvTxt = xls2csv($sFileName, $sRegion, $iRotate);
convert a chunk of an excel file into csv text chunk $sRegions = "sheet-colrow:colrow" (ex. '1-A1:B2' means 'A1:B2' for sheet 1) $iRotate
= 0 or 1 (output should be rotated or not)
This function was contributed by Kevin Mulholland.
