That error means that the module hasn't been installed.

There are installation instructions for Spreadsheet::WriteExcel here. The first two methods also apply to Spreadsheet::WriteExcelXML.

With ActivePerl you can also install the modules via ppm from the ActiveState repositories.

    I had tried installing it from the links you mentioned but do these work on Win XP machines since these are tar.gz files?

      You can unzip and untar those files with winzip. However, if you are on Windows (and I assume using ActivePerl) then you can install the modules using the ppm command: 
      
C:\Temp>ppm

ppm> search Spreadsheet::WriteExcel
Searching in Active Repositories
   1. Spreadsheet-WriteEx~ [2.14] Write to a cross platform Excel bina
+ry file
   ...
ppm> install 1

      [download]

      Repeat for Spreadsheet::WriteExcelXML (it will be in the same list above) and choose the number for version 0.09.

      If you are unfamilar with installing modules then you really should have a look at the first two tutorials in the section linked to above.
