creating csv file with perl

I created csv file with this perl module Text::CSV_XS on windows:

Below a snippet of my code :

use Text::CSV_XS;

my @a =('ID','VALUE'); 


open my $OUTPUT,'>',"file.csv" or die "Can't able to open file.csv\n";

my $csv = Text::CSV_XS->new ({ binary => 1, eol => $/ });



$csv->print($OUTPUT,\@a);

this code generate a file.csv but when I try to open the file.csv with xls the xls write that this file is SYLK and can't know it could someone help why this csv can't open with xls?

This problem occurs when you open a text file or CSV file and the first two characters of the file are the uppercase letters "I" and "D"

"SYLK: File format is not valid" error message when you open file
