A way to check if you have the module installed is by trying loading module directly and see what happens. For example: `perl -MSpreadsheet::WriteExcel -e1` [download] will be quiet if you have the module installed otherwise it will complain with a message like: `Can't locate Spreadsheet/WriteExcel.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /etc/pe +rl /usr/local/lib/perl/5.10.0 /usr/local/share/perl/5.10.0 /usr/lib/p +erl5 /usr/share/perl5 /usr/lib/perl/5.10 /usr/share/perl/5.10 /usr/lo +cal/lib/site_perl .).` [download] NOTE: The message above includes the current library search locations perl is aware of (in @INC). If the module was installed by standard means (cpan or perl Makefile.pl etc) it should be somewhere in your @INC (library paths) already.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
