Re: how to run this script

It seems you do not have Spreadsheet::ParseExcel installed.

On the command line try "cpan Spreadsheet::ParseExcel". That should install it for you.

A program should be light and agile, its subroutines connected like a string of pearls. The spirit and intent of the program should be retained throughout. There should be neither too little or too much, neither needless loops nor useless variables, neither lack of structure nor overwhelming rigidity." - The Tao of Programming, 4.1 - Geoffrey James

when i do ./filename it gives error bash: ./test.pm: Permission denied You probably need to give your `test.pm` file execute permissions, like: `chmod 777 test.pm` [download] Also, conventionally, the `.pm` file name suffix is reserved for Perl module files (see package). It is more common to use the `.pl` file extension for scripts.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

`chmod 777 test.pm` Far too permissive! That gives every man and his dog permission to run, modify or even delete the script, if they are able to browse to the directory containing it. Much safer would be `chmod u+x test.pm` [download] We see, and have to try to fix, the chaos that ensues when someone does an ill-considered `chmod -R 777 /some/path/with_lots_of/sub-directories` [download] and it is a practice strongly to be discouraged.
