Dear Monks,

I make desktop databases at work and the most time consuming part of each project is editing the spreadsheets, givin to my me by accountants, that need to be added to the database.

I am a beginner with Perl. However, I want to write some scripts that can format the Spreadsheets for me, but I am having problems installing Spreadsheet::Read and Spreadsheet::ParceExcel.

I have done lots of research and understand that you must have ParceExcel to use Read, but how do I install these so that they can work together.

I have reviewed the warnings givin during the Makefile "Installation", but my efforts are failing me.

New spreadsheets will be coming to me at the end of the month, so please help me.
