Spreadsheet::XLSX won't install on my Strawberry Perl 5.16.3, even with force. Testers on Cpan have reported this. However, on Activestate, same perl version, it is listed in their PPM and it works. So, maybe there could be some hope. Have you some idea of what I could try? The error message I get is:

If there is no hope, do you know other modules to read XLSX files
