You need to have OpenOffice installed. The `Makefile.PL` seems to want it at `C:\Program Files\OpenOffice.org 2.2\` - if it's not there, you will need to find out where it is and how to tell `Makefile.PL` about it.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Hi, I copied the makefile.pl in the program folder. Now the last error is reduced. But i got the same other errors. I listed the below: Please let me know how to install. Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) or string at makefile.pl line 93 . Use of uninitialized value in string at makefile.pl line 129. Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) or string at makefile.pl line 12 9. Regards, Balaji S	[reply]

I'm sorry that I expressed myself so badly. You shouldn't copy `Makefile.PL` into the directoy. As English is not my primary language, please follow the instructions in the README of OpenOffice::UNO, and make sure that the environment is set up correctly, as others already have suggested.

Did you read the Installation note from the README file? It has instructions you don't seem to have followed. Martin	[reply]

Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) or string at makefile.pl line 93 I find: `92: $uno_lib = $ENV{'OO_SDK_URE_LIB_DIR'}; 93: $uno_libpath = "-L$uno_lib";` [download] which suggests to me that $ENV{'OO_SDK_URE_LIB_DIR'} has not been set. In addition to what Corion has already suggested, you probably also need to attend to this. Cheers, Rob	[reply] [d/l]
