As such, the WordView packages might be able to help. There's a xlhtml program with some sort of intelligence about xls files, too.

You should understand that XLS is a closed, proprietary, undocumented format, and that tools for it are necessarily based on reverse engineering, which often involves a fair amount of guesswork. More the reason to avoid closed source.

Please clarify on your requirement.

What is meant by converting .xls to .csv ?

Do you want to copy the data from xls to csv file ? -This can be done with perl packages that read excel and reformat the data accordingly

Are you looking for something similar to that ?
