      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.

        ok bit of a problem there. I am working under a proxy and my system administrator told that he can't help me on this. what can I do? PS: I need to read excel files and convert their contents into a hash table. can I use some other module which have less dependencies (as I can install the module by that way : installing all the dependencies in the loop required)

      "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.
