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.
