Thanks,

I tried to do this, but now I'm getting:

Z:\Perl\Modules>ppm Install Spreadsheet::ParseExcel
Installing package 'Spreadsheet-ParseExcel'...
Error installing package 'Spreadsheet-ParseExcel': Could
not locate a PPD file f or package Spreadsheet-ParseExcel

Do I need to do something else first?

      Hi,
      Thanks, I did see this and I did try it, but here's what I ran into:

      Z:\Perl>cd bin
      The system cannot find the path specified.
      Z:\Perl>cd ppm
      The directory name is invalid.
      Z:\Perl>ppm install Spreadsheet-ParseExcel
      No Perl script found in input
      Z:\Perl>cd Modules
      Z:\Perl\Modules>ppm install Spreadsheet-ParseExcel
      Installing package 'Spreadsheet-ParseExcel'...
      Error installing package 'Spreadsheet-ParseExcel': Could not locate a
      or package Spreadsheet-ParseExcel
      Z:\Perl\Modules>ppm install Spreadsheet-ParseExcel.ppd
      Installing package 'Spreadsheet-ParseExcel.ppd'...
      Error installing package 'Spreadsheet-ParseExcel.ppd': Read a PPD for
      et-ParseExcel.ppd', but it is not intended for this build of Perl (MS ulti-thread)

      I seem to have the wrong build of Perl installed... or something?

      Hi,
      I contacted my system administrator, and it turned out to be an issue of permissions/access. It's now been installed, and your help is certainly appreciated, thank you very much.
