prat7434 has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi, I am facing an issue in installation of the spreadsheet;writeexcel module. It says it needs two modules pre-installed: OLE::Storage_Lite and Parse::RecDescent

Although these are installed successfully(probably not installed, although cmd line shows!!), still it is not being installed.

Error in the end is:

Files=35, Tests=1189, 7 wallclock secs ( 0.30 usr 0.05 sys + 6.42 cusr 0.57 csys = 7.34 CPU)

Result: FAIL

Failed 5/35 test programs. 0/1189 subtests failed.

make: *** test_dynamic Error 255



The tests for 'Spreadsheet::WriteExcel' failed. Would you like me to proceed anyway or should we abort
