Can someone help on this

I am facing the same kind of issue if i want to install Data::Dumper or Data::Peek dependencies. In fact same for other modules but it's strange because i could install successfully for instance Spreadsheet::Read just before

Thank you

`'gcc' n’est pas reconnu en tant que commande interne ou externe, un programme exécutable ou un fichier de commandes.` [download] For some strange reason, you don't have `gcc` in a directory listed in `$ENV{PATH}`. Usually this program is included with Strawberry Perl and comes with it when you install it. Maybe you just need to append the proper path to `$ENV{PATH}`: `set PATH=%PATH%;C:\Strawberry\c\bin` [download]	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Additionally to what the Windows guru's told you or suggested, I'd say to start clearing out your `C:\STRAWB~1\cpan\build\` before re-trying anything. That folder contains all your build efforts from `cpan`, including the FAIL'd ones. Enjoy, Have FUN! H.Merijn	[reply] [d/l] [select]
