I can explain that error.

The module PadWalker is a dependency of Spreadsheet::WriteExcel. PadWalker apparently uses some XS code, which requires a C compiler. Since ActiveState Perl was compiled with Microsoft Visual Studio it is looking for a program called "cl" which is a command line C compiler that comes with Visual Studio.

You may be able to get it working by downloading Visual C++ Express and adding its bin directory to your path. But If you aren't planning on doing any C development in the future, you are better off just installing the precompiled PPM as another commenter suggested, here are some instructions on how to do that.

Thanks Everyone for your valuable inputs
Am able to install all the modules without any error & even able to run my perl script without any issues.
Now,am facing 1 more issues ie,
Am using Eclipse IDE for debugging perl script or can say
for step by step execution so that i can see local variable value during run time
since to view the local variable value during run time,Eclipse want PadWalker module to get install
for Pad Walker module we need Visual C++ Express installed.
now, my real problem: i have Win2k OS but this Visual C++ Express needs WinXP to get installed
so now i got struck :-(
Can any one tell me any other mean to achieve my problem ?
when i tried to install the PadWalker i got this ouput:

Is it possible to view the local variable value during run time without installing PadWalker ??
Regards, Vijayarl

Once, I also installed perl on a system without admin rights. So the PATH environment variable was not updated, and it made perl hard to use. But I created a shortcut to cmd.exe and set Target to:

%SystemRoot%\system32\cmd.exe /v:on /k set path=c:\perl\site\bin;c:\pe
+rl\bin;!path!
[download]

So the PATH is set correctly whenever I use the shortcut to spawn a cmd shell.

I also had to update a few other things, like the PATH in Vim, and the path to perl in the pl2bat program that comes with ActiveState.

You're doing everything wrong :)
First mistake is that you unpacked Spreadsheet-WriteExcel in your perl\bin directory. Thats probably broke some things. Reinstall perl, then follow A Guide to Installing Modules

You can configure cpan for C:\Perl\.cpan and cpanp (cpanplus) for C:\Perl\.cpanp, but never go to C:\Perl\bin C:\Perl\lib C:\Perl\site...
