Here is a simple Tk example. I've just put the row-col numbers in the cells, but you could load $cells{$row}{$col}{'data'} with your spreadsheet output and use that for the text. It is also possible to change fonts, cell colors, text color, etc. When you click the png-output button, be patient, it may take a second or 2. 
#!/usr/bin/perl
use warnings;
use strict;
use Tk;
use Tk::WinPhoto;
use Tk::PNG;

my $mw = tkinit;
my $width = 500;
my $height = 700;

my $canv = $mw->Canvas(width => $width, height =>$height)->pack();

#set cell size adjustment 
my $x = 50;
my $y = 20;

my $rows = int( $height / $y + 1 ) - 1; #make it 0 based 
my $cols = int( $width / $x + 1 ) - 1;
print "rows->$rows  cols->$cols\n";
               
my %cells;
foreach my $row ( 0 .. $rows ) {
    foreach my $col ( 0 .. $cols ) {

    $cells{$row}{$col}{'rect'} = $canv->createRectangle(
      $col * $x, $row * $y, $col * $x + $x, $row * $y + $y,
               #-width   => 1, 
               -outline => 'white',
           );

    $cells{$row}{$col}{'text'} = $canv->createText(
         $col * $x + $x/2  , $row * $y + $y/2,
         -text  => "$row - $col",
         -anchor => 'center',
         -fill => 'black',
           );
                             
    }
}


my $canvbutton = $mw->Button(-text=>'Canvas Capture',
                             -command => \&canv_capture,
                            )->pack;
                        
MainLoop;

sub canv_capture{

my $image = $mw->Photo(-format => 'Window',
                        -data => oct($canv->id)
                       );

my $pathname = './canvas.'.time.'.png';
$image->write($pathname, -format => 'PNG');
