    for my $col ( $col_first .. $col_last ) {    # Step through each column
        my $cell = $xls->get_cell( $row, $col ); # Get the current cell
        next unless $cell;
        $csv .= $cell->unformatted(); # Get the cell raw data -- no border 
                                      # colors or anything like that

You have typos in your code.

open(my $FH ,'>',"$csv") or die "oops!";

while (my $line = <$FH>){
    print $FH $line;
}
