I think the problem with shortpath is that the module - for me quite mysteriously - sometimes does provide a short path, sometime no. Moving around the same file (or directory structure), the module may start to provide the shortpath (otherwise it returns the original path). As far as I understood, this must depend on some quite wired Windows stuff. When a shortpath is provided, Spreadsheet::ParseXLSX works smoothly. However, it is unsatisfying if it doesn't work consistently.

If my path is

C:/Users/DE/Desktop/号召力打了/Ршзефф.xlsx

The above code selects the path okay, and displays it fine in the UI (at least with the latest Tk). Passing this path to Spreadsheet::ParseXLSX does NOT work. Shouldn't Perl and Tk resolve this internally (no sure about the layer to the OS)? If a shortpath is returned 

 C:\Users\FC\Desktop\7373~1\B030~1.XLS
then is okay. If it is not return, I simply get again 
C:/Users/DE/Desktop/号召力打了/Ршзефф.xlsx
which of course doesn't work.

Can you elaborate more the idea to pass a file handle? Because, if the problem is not being able - in some circumstances - to get the shortpath, I guess I cannot have a filehandle too to pass, am I a wrong?

I also tried to eliminate the Tk OpenFile and directly pass the path inside the script with:

use utf8;
my $workbook = $parser->parse('C:/Users/DE/Desktop/号召力打了/Ршзефф.xlsx');

This doesn't work too.
