Thanks for that, but I don't think I have the module Spreadsheet::ParseExcel installed on my PC. Because I get this msg;

Can't locate Spreadsheet/ParseExcel.pm in @INC (@INC contains: C:/Perl/lib C:/Perl/site/lib .) at C:\scripts\test.pl line 2.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at C:\scripts\test.pl line 2.

I also have a problem with using PPM. Every time I type ppm i get this error,

C:\>ppm
The name specified is not recognised as an Internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

then I add the extension .bat and I try it as ppm.bat. But I get the following error,

C:\>ppm.bat
The name specified is not recognised as an Internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
You do not have Perl in your PATH.

here I check the path and I get,

C:\>path
PATH=C:\Perl\bin\;C:\Perl\;C:\Perl\bin\;C:\WINNT\system32;C:\WINNT;C:\scripts;

I checked file association and the Path in Winnt Environment all seemed OK. I installed/uninstalled/reinstalled PERL few times and rebooted few times, all to no avail. So do you know where I can download the zipped version of this library or how can I sort this PPM problem please.

Cheers.
