Why not format up your sheet in excel how you want it then save as "XML Spreadsheet 2003".
You can then edit this file and cut out the unnecessary stuff like (<DocumentProperties> <OfficeDocumentSettings> etc.), just play around by editing the file and checking it can still be loaded by excel.
As an example this is a nice 2 column sheet with leading zero format on the first column, it's a fairly simple exercise to then transform a flat csv file into this type of .xml document.
Or course there are perl CPAN modules that can assist in producing this output (Spreadsheet-WriteExcelXML comes to mind), and you may find dealing with these easier.

spreadsheet::writeexcel::chart::bar
Spreadsheet::WriteExcel::Chart::Bar(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation Spreadsheet::WriteExcel::Chart::Bar(3pm)NAME
Bar - A writer class for Excel Bar charts.
SYNOPSIS
To create a simple Excel file with a Bar chart using Spreadsheet::WriteExcel:
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use Spreadsheet::WriteExcel;
my $workbook = Spreadsheet::WriteExcel->new( 'chart.xls' );
my $worksheet = $workbook->add_worksheet();
my $chart = $workbook->add_chart( type => 'bar' );
# 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 Bar charts for Spreadsheet::WriteExcel. The chart object is created via the Workbook "add_chart()" method:
my $chart = $workbook->add_chart( type => 'bar' );
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_x_axis();
$chart->set_y_axis();
$chart->set_title();
These methods are explained in detail in Spreadsheet::WriteExcel::Chart. Class specific methods or settings, if any, are explained below.
Bar Chart Methods
There aren't currently any bar chart specific methods. See the TODO section of Spreadsheet::WriteExcel::Chart.
EXAMPLE
Here is a complete example that demonstrates most of the available features when creating a chart.
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use Spreadsheet::WriteExcel;
my $workbook = Spreadsheet::WriteExcel->new( 'chart_bar.xls' );
my $worksheet = $workbook->add_worksheet();
my $bold = $workbook->add_format( bold => 1 );
# Add the worksheet data that the charts will refer to.
my $headings = [ 'Number', 'Sample 1', 'Sample 2' ];
my $data = [
[ 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 ],
[ 1, 4, 5, 2, 1, 5 ],
[ 3, 6, 7, 5, 4, 3 ],
];
$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 => 'bar', embedded => 1 );
# Configure the first series. (Sample 1)
$chart->add_series(
name => 'Sample 1',
categories => '=Sheet1!$A$2:$A$7',
values => '=Sheet1!$B$2:$B$7',
);
# Configure the second series. (Sample 2)
$chart->add_series(
name => 'Sample 2',
categories => '=Sheet1!$A$2:$A$7',
values => '=Sheet1!$C$2:$C$7',
);
# Add a chart title and some axis labels.
$chart->set_title ( name => 'Results of sample analysis' );
$chart->set_x_axis( name => 'Test number' );
$chart->set_y_axis( name => 'Sample length (cm)' );
# Insert the chart into the worksheet (with an offset).
$worksheet->insert_chart( 'D2', $chart, 25, 10 );
