Hello kshitij, I didn't read through your entire code. But here's an example.. This is what I do in here.. Read from xlsx file using Spreadsheet::XLSX module and write to xls using Spreadsheet::WriteExcel module.

Code:
#! /usr/bin/perl

use warnings;
use strict;

use Spreadsheet::XLSX;
use Spreadsheet::WriteExcel;

my $excel_xlsx = Spreadsheet::XLSX -> new ('sample.xlsx');
my ($sheet_xlsx, $row, $col, $cell);

my $excel_xls = Spreadsheet::WriteExcel->new('sample.xls');
my $sheet_xls = $excel_xls->add_worksheet();

for $sheet_xlsx ( @{ $excel_xlsx->{Worksheet} } ) {
    for $row ( $sheet_xlsx->{MinRow} .. $sheet_xlsx->{MaxRow} ) {
        for $col ( $sheet_xlsx->{MinCol} .. $sheet_xlsx->{MaxCol} ) {
            my $cell = $sheet_xlsx->{Cells}[$row][$col];
            print "$cell->{Val} ";
            $sheet_xls->write($row, $col, $cell->{Val});
        }
        print "\n";
    }
}

Attached file has a sample.xlsx that will be converted to sample.xls
sample.tar.gz

Code:
[user@host ~]$ ./test.pl
id name
1 tom
2 dick
3 harry
[user@host ~]$ ls -l sample.xls*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 user None 5632 May 31 11:49 sample.xls
-rwxr-xr-x 1 user None 7402 May 31 11:16 sample.xlsx

TableMatrix::Spreadsheet(3pm)				       perl/Tk Documentation				     TableMatrix::Spreadsheet(3pm)

NAME
Tk::TableMatrix::Spreadsheet - Table Display with Spreadsheet-like bindings. SYNOPSIS
use Tk; use Tk::TableMatrix::Spreadsheet; my $t = $top->Scrolled('Spreadsheet', -rows => 21, -cols => 11, -width => 6, -height => 6, -titlerows => 1, -titlecols => 1, -variable => $arrayVar, -selectmode => 'extended', -titlerows => 1, -titlecols => 1, -bg => 'white', ); DESCRIPTION
Tk::TableMatrix::Spreadsheet is a Tk::TableMatrix-derived widget that implements some bindings so the resulting widget behaves more like a spreadsheet. Bindings Added: o Row/Col resize handles appear when the cursor is placed over a row/col border line in the rol/col title area. Dragging these handles will resize the row or column. If multiple rows or columns are selected, then the new row/col size will apply to all row/cols selected. Note: With the base Tk::TableMatrix, it is possible to resize the row/cols by dragging on any cell border. To be more spreadsheet-like, Tk::TableMatrix::Spreadsheet defaults to enable row/col resizing only thru the title row/col dragging. To override this default behavoir, set the -resizeborder option to 'both' at startup. o A popup menu for row/col insert/delete appears when the mouse is right-clicked in the row/col title areas. o Cells activate (i.e. the contents become edit-able) only when the cell is double-clicked or the F2 button is pressed. The default Tk::TableMatrix behavior is for the cell to be activated when the cell is single-clicked. o The Escape key causes any changes made to a cell to be canceled and the current selection cleared. o The return key causes the the current cell to move down. o The tab (or shift tab) key causes the current cell to be moved to the right (left). o The delete key will delete the current selection, if no cell is currently active. o The Mouse button 2 (middle button) paste from the PRIMARY. (Control-v pastes from the clipboard). Additional Information Widget methods, options, etc, are inherited from the Tk::TableMatrix widget. See its docs for additional information.
