ankit.tayal560 has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

when I tried installing Spreadsheet::Read through

Makefile.PL
dmake
dmake test
dmake install

[download]

It showed me warnings during Makefile.PL about prerequisites not found. there were 4 of them. I tried to install one of those prerequisites it again showed me some prerequisites which are not installed and so on..i am in a loop now. how can I install spreadsheet :: Read . Monks please suggest some other alternative way?

    Simply use the cpan or cpanm tool to automatically follow the graph of prerequisites:

    cpan Spreadsheet::Read

    [download]

    or

    cpanm Spreadsheet::Read

    [download]

      I tried that , it showed me cannot install Spreadsheet::Read , don't know what it is

        This most likely means that cpanm cannot contact its CPAN database, and that cpan also cannot contact its CPAN mirror to update its listing.

        Consult with your network administrator to find out which proxy address you need to use to make HTTP requests to the outside world.

        "don't know what it is"

        Both cpan and cpanm tell you why installations have failed. cpan directly on screen, cpanm tells you the log file to look at. Please take the time to check these things before posting things like this.
