There is a lot of environmental settings missing in your question. As others already found: do not use Spreadsheet::XLSX, but Spreadsheet::ParseXLSX.

When I fetch your file, I can verify the reason to change the parser

use Spreadsheet::Read;
my $ss = Spreadsheet::Read->new ("pm1209625.xlsx", debug => 3);

$ perl pm1209625.pl
Opening XLSX pm1209625.xlsx using Spreadsheet::ParseXLSX-0.27
        4 sheets
        Sheet 2 'Cities' 215 x 1
        Sheet 3 'Categories' 22 x 1
        Sheet 4 'Items' 187 x 2
        Sheet 5 'VehicleTypes' 14 x 1

$ env SPREADSHEET_READ_XLSX=Spreadsheet::XLSX perl pm1209625.pl
Opening XLSX pm1209625.xlsx using Spreadsheet::XLSX-0.15
        0 sheets

A short digging revealed that the parser only accepts xml tags sheet, where your workbook has tags /x:workbook at that level (XLSX.pm line 53).

It is IMHO a lost cause to file a ticket.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
