When trying to install the Spreadsheet::WriteExcel module on WindowsXP, and using 'ppm' from ActiveState, I get thrown into a GUI that seems to be checking what modules I already have on my system or can be installed on my system (Spreadsheet::WriteExcel module is not one of them that is available to be installed ??). That is to say, through this tool I can not install the Spreadsheet::WriteExcel module. The CPAN.pm method to install the Spreadsheet::WriteExcel module just plainly 'times out' from what I would guess is a firewall issue. And when I download the .tar.gz file for Spreadsheet::WriteExcel and try to unzip I get an error. Please advise as to how I can install the Spreadsheet::WriteExcel module on WindowsXP. Thanks in advance.
