in reply to Problems with Spreadsheet::Read

Which module are you having trouble installing? What problems are you having? Is it on Windows w/ActiveState perl (if so, you should be using ppm to install most modules, not make)? If you are only reading Excel spreadsheets, you probably don't need Spreadsheet::Read (unless you like the API)...I've found Spreadsheet::ParseExcel::Simple to be adequate in most cases...though it does not try to read the formatting of the spreadsheet.

Update: I just noticed that twice you have misspelled "ParseExcel". That's not why you are having trouble installing it, is it?
