in reply to Need help with Modules!

Win32::OLE will only work on Windows. Which is why it has the OS name in its module name (Win32).

See Spreadsheet::ParseExcel and Spreadsheet::WriteExcel.

Also, Yes, even you can use CPAN, App::cpanminus and local::lib.

    The links that you provided to me is kind of vague, they talk in general terms. To put it simple I don't even understand the half of what they are saying. If I install any of those packages then what? Then how am I supposed to include the one that I want? Thank you for your time

      The modules allow you to do on Unix (and Windows) to manipulate Excel files. I already told you that your existing approach of reusing Excel will not work on Unix, because Excel (and the technology used to communicate with Excel) does not run on Unix.

      You will need to look at the modules I linked, and install those, maybe first on your Windows machine, and rework your program to use these modules. Then you will need to install these modules on your target machine(s) as well.

      If you feel overwhelmed by this, contact your system administrator on how to install modules.
