How can I convert SAS data files into something simple like Excel data using Perl?

I am new to Perl.I know how to do the same thing using R and Python but I am unable to do so in Perl. My requirement says it has to be specifically in Perl.

Show what you've done in python, an extract of input file and expected result. – Toto – 2017-11-07T10:49:06.757

@Toto I have been trying to figure out the module required for conversion from xpt to Excel.I have 20 zipped xpt format files which I want to showcase in a BI Tool therefore I needed to convert those files to xls. Currently I have started learning Perl and as the solution to the first step of my problem is not clear therefore I haven't been able to write the Script.I have tried using SAS Parser module for Perl but I guess that is only for .sas files.Kindly guide which module to use – Saumya Pandey – 2017-11-07T12:58:02.370

Can't you use SAS to save the dataset to csv? https://stackoverflow.com/questions/3711250/efficiently-convert-a-sas-dataset-into-a-csv
