Ok - I am looking at XLSX to see if I can make changes to remove stuff I dont need - since all i am trying to do in the production code is read the cell value and write it out to csv file

Can I eliminate all that excel style processing? 
        my $member_styles = $self -> {zip} -> memberNamed ('xl/styles.
+xml');

        my @styles = ();

    my %style_info = ();

        if ($member_styles) {

                foreach my $t ($member_styles -> contents =~ /xf\ numF
+mtId="([^"]*)"(?!.*\/cellStyleXfs)/gsm) { #"
                       # $t = $converter -> convert ($t) if $converter
+;
                        push @styles, $t;

                }
        my $default = $1 || '';

        foreach my $t1 (@styles){
            $member_styles -> contents =~ /numFmtId="$t1" formatCode="
+([^"]*)/;
            my $formatCode = $1 || '';
            if ($formatCode eq $default || not($formatCode)){
                if ($t1 == 9 || $t1==10){ $formatCode="0.00000%";}
                elsif ($t1 == 14){ $formatCode="m-d-yy";}
                else {
                    $formatCode="";
                }
            }
            $style_info{$t1} = $formatCode;
            $default = $1 || '';
        }

        }

Also, I am considering reducing the cell object size by removing format and type hash keys So change 


                }
                my $cell =Spreadsheet::ParseExcel::Cell->new(

                    Val    => $v,
                    Format => $thisstyle,
                    Type => $type
                    
                );
