perl -Mblib and permission denied

mcarthey has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hello all, I'm running perl 5.8.2 in Windows and am having a problem. I have the module Spreadsheet::ParseExcel in a subdirectory and have successfully executed the Makefile.PL and executed nmake. I have also verified the blib directory structure has been created. The problem is that when I try to run the following I get an error.

V:\Perl>perl -Mblib ParseExcel/Spreadsheet-ParseExcel-0.49 errorlog.pl
+ file.csv

Can't open perl script "ParseExcel/Spreadsheet-ParseExcel-0.49": Permi
+ssion denied
[download]

Thanks for any help!

Not sure why this would happen, but right-click on the file in Windows Explorer, select Properties, and ensure that "Read-only" is not set. Unset it if it is.	[reply]

Wow, that was a head slapping moment for me. Sorry about that. I completely overlooked the '=' sign. I checked the docs, but didn't read carefully enough. Thanks for catching this for me. :\	[reply]
