Can't find any package that provides Spreadsheet::WriteExcel
 

i have downloaded activePerl and install the writeExcel module. But got problem below;

C:\Perl\bin>ppm install Spreadsheet::WriteExcel
Downloading ActiveState Package Repository packlist...done
Updating ActiveState Package Repository database...done
ppm install failed: Can't find any package that provides Spreadsheet::WriteExcel

how could i resolve this?

Maybe this page will be of some help ?

What Linux distro (version) are you using?

I'm not familiar with the package you mentioned, but I'm wondering why not use [0pen|Libre]Office?

i am using Window Vista.

hi

i still have this problem:

c:\perl\ppm install Spreadsheet::WriteExcel

Downloading ActiveState Package Repository packlist...done
Updating ActiveState Package Repository database...done
ppm install failed: Can't find any package that provides Spreadsheet::WriteExcel

Casualzone , did you bother to check the link i posted ?

It lists 4 different methods to install Spreadsheet::WriteExcel, including 2 for active perl .

whenever i type ppm, it will pop up a GUI. how could i use command base for Method 3 & 4

If you run ppm without any parameters on the command line, it should give you a command prompt of it's own , not a gui .

should give you something like this on screen :

PPM>

Then you can use the commands listed in method 3 .

If ppm without paramaters gives you a gui instead of the interactive commandline prompt, you may have to start it with a special parameter to get the prompt.
Check the documentation for ppm on your system, it should have details about how to start ppm with the command prompt.
