    This is excel. The data and the display text are different. Datetime in excel stored as a real.

    “Dates and times in Excel are represented by real numbers, for example
    “Jan 1 2001 12:30 AM” is represented by the number 36892.521.”

    Check these how to handle time in excel:

    http://search.cpan.org/~jmcnamara/Spreadsheet-WriteExcel-2.37/lib/Spreadsheet/WriteExcel.pm#DATES_AND_TIME_IN_EXCEL

    And check this module too: http://search.cpan.org/~aburs/DateTime-Format-Excel-0.31/lib/DateTime/Format/Excel.pm
