Hello colox,

you got already two useful answers. What I can add is that Spreadsheet::ParseExcel (the underliyng module as haukex suggested) does not supports .xlsx files. Error checking, as wisely proposed by NetWallah would probably addressed you in rigth direction.

You can process such files using Spreadsheet::XLSX Spreadsheet::ParseXLSX (see below) but abandoning the use of Spreadsheet::ExcelHashTable but I think that get all the content into an hash will not be so difficult.

There are no rules, there are no thumbs..
Reinvent the wheel, then learn The Wheel; may be one day you reinvent one of THE WHEELS.
