I am using Strawberry 5.16.3 64bit under Win 7 and `cpan install Spreadsheet::ParseExcel cpan install Spreadsheet::WriteExcel` [download] works without issues. You need to provide more detail of what's going wrong to get some help (error messages etc).	[reply] [d/l]

If you're asking for help you need to tell us exactly what went wrong. How do I post a question effectively? explains how best to help us to help you. Regards module installation, if you download and extract tar files manually you will also need to do this for other modules which your target module is dependant on. the cpan tool (others are available) does all this for you: `cpan Module::Name` [download]	[reply] [d/l]
