cannot create excel file.

kasmot has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi, Im trying to create an excel file and Im getting this error: Can't locate Spreadsheet/WriteExcel.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/lib/perl5/5.00503/i386-linux /usr/lib/perl5/5.00503 /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.005/i386-linux /usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.005 .) Does this means that I dont have Spreadsheet/WriteExcel.pm module installe on my system?? If thats the case, can anyone give me a site for me to download that particular module. Thanks in advance.

If you're an ActiveState Perl user, you can also download and install it with PPM. It seems to be available on the ActiveState repository. Dave	[reply]

I would strongly suggest reading a few books on Perl. You're trying to build a house without plans. That said, type the following at your shell: `perl -MCPAN -e shell install Spreadsheet::WriteExcel exit` [download] That should do the trick. ------ We are the carpenters and bricklayers of the Information Age.
