Hi,

I am trying to install perl modules in HPUX under my account. I do not have the root permission.

The module name I am trying to install is Spreadsheet-WriteExcel. I have downloaded the tar.gz file from CPAN and extracted the same under my home directory.

When I try do 'perl Makefile.PL' it shows the following warning :

/home/mukher2/perl_modules/Spreadsheet-WriteExcel-2.17> perl Makefile.PL
Warning: prerequisite Parse::RecDescent failed to load: Can't locate Parse/RecDescent.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /opt/perl/

ite_perl/5.6.1 /opt/perl/lib/site_perl .) at (eval 5) line 3.

when I try the next step to do a 'make' I am getting :

while I try to test it by 'make test' it's showing :
