I added a bindmode STDOUT 
use strict;
use warnings;
use Spreadsheet::ParseExcel::Simple;
use Spreadsheet::WriteExcel::Simple;
binmode STDOUT;
#IN
my $file = 'infile.xls';
my $xls = Spreadsheet::ParseExcel::Simple->read($file);

#OUT
my $ss = Spreadsheet::WriteExcel::Simple->new();
my $count;
foreach my $sheet ($xls->sheets) {
    while ($sheet->has_data) {  
    #Reading
    my @idata = $sheet->next_row;
    my @odata = @idata;  # Here I can manipulate the data

    #Writing
    $ss->write_row(\@odata);
    last if $count++ > 5;
    }
}
print $ss->data;

and ran 
perl temp.pl >outfile.xls

[download]
and oufile.xls opened fine. I tried a several different versions of infile.xls with blank rows and such but it seemed to work fine.
