I have a script that works perfectly fine with .xls file but the same file when in xlsx doesn't work with my script. I use Spreadsheet::ParseXLSX(https://metacpan.org/pod/Spreadsheet::ParseXLSX) to parse the .xlsx file. It works fine until getting the row and col range but doesn't work on get_cell or value of the cell. 
   my @name;
    my @details = (); 
    for my $row(0 ..$row_max) {    
        my $ligand_details = {};

          for my $col (@required_cols) {
              warn Dumper($worksheet); 
        
              my $cell = $worksheet->get_cell($row,$col);
              warn $cell; 
      
              my $value =  $cell ? $cell->val :'';

               if($row == 0 ) {                      
                $name[$col] = $value;
            } else {
                  $ligand_details->{$name[$col]} = $value; 
              }
          }    
          push @details , $ligand_details if (defined $row); 
       }
    
       return \@details;

Is there any difference between ParseExcel and ParseXLSX? any suggestions?
