Problem:trying to install perl module manually
Followed these steps:

2.Unziped the file
3.In cmd prompt,i went into the folder path then typed ie, 
C:\Perl\Spreadsheet-WriteExcel-2.25> perl Makefile.pl

it says :'perl' is not recognized as an internal or external command,operable program or batch file.

Can anyone help on this ??
