help with perl module installation
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.
Writing Makefile for Spreadsheet::WriteExcel
/home/mukher2/perl_modules/Spreadsheet-WriteExcel-2.17>


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 :

Any advise please ?

It's not your module - although you may have problems with that in the future.

This is a syntax error. Your perl script won't even compile, which means it's not written correctly. It hasn't even tried to load the module yet.

Can you paste the lines around line 11 of your script?

Hi,

Thanks for pointing this out. I have resolved the problem - the lib was not pointed correctly.

Thanks again!
