The standard Activestate repository also has this module, so:
1) Have you installed other modules via PPM?
NO, this is my first installation
2) Are you behind a firewall?
I don't know, but I guess it should be the reason since as per other
ways to install from the web page
http://search.cpan.org/src/JMCNAMARA/Spreadsheet-WriteExcel-0.39/INSTALL,
the below test failed.
ppm > install File-Test
3) What version of ActivePerl are you using?
The version I am using is ActiveState Perl v5.6.1
SO if I am behind the FIREWALL, what should I do to make the installation
happen ? Please advice.
Thanks,
Praveen

Subject: Perl and MS-Excel
Hi All,
I am working on to interact Perl with MS-Excel under Windows '98. In
this regard I am installing a module called Spreadsheet::WriteExcel. As per
the instructions at the webpage
http://homepage.tinet.ie/~jmcnamara/perl/PerlExcelFaq.html, I went about
installing the module. But, I get the below error while installing via the
"ppm" utility.
"Error installing package 'Spreadsheet-WriteExcel': Could not locate a PPD
file
for package Spreadsheet-WriteExcel"
Operating System: Windows '98
Perl version : ActiveState Perl v5.6.1
Please see below the snippet of the system interaction while installing the
module.
Any help would be very highly appreciated.
Thanks,
Praveen
