hi,
I ran into some programs trying to install Spreadsheet::WriteExcel. I'm trying to do this on a new machine so I may not have configured ppm and CPAN correctly.
I followed the instructions here to configure ppm to handle the firewall, but it doesn't seem to work. Downloading the package from here and trying to install it with
ppm install <location>
doesn't work either.
When I tried CPAN I managed to locate the module but when CPAN tries to run the test during installation it returns
'test' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable
+program or batch file.
test --NOT OK
Running make install
make test had returned bad status, won't install without force
Does anyone know how to solve this?

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

are good places to start.
