How can I check for a file size and add that result in an Excel spreadsheet in Perl?

Currently I monitoring a particular file with a simple shell one-liner:

filesize=$(ls -lah somefile |  awk '{print $5}')

I'm aware that Perl has some nice modules to deal with Excel files so the idea is to, let's say, run that check daily, perhaps with cron, and write the result on a spreadsheet for further statistical use.
