Hello mates, I am trying to install Spreadsheet::WriteExcel module but its giving me an error at the end. The error states 

  CPAN.pm: Going to build J/JM/JMCNAMARA/Spreadsheet-WriteExcel-2.40.t

operable program or batch file.
  nmake  -- NOT OK
Running make test
  Can't test without successful make
Running make install
  make had returned bad status, install seems impossible

    I'd suggesting either installing nmake, a websearch will find results explaining this, or install Strawberry Perl which ships with a sane development environment.

      thank you so much. Installing strawberry perl solved my problem.
