How to install Spreadsheet/ParseExcel/Simple.pm

I'm getting the following error, I'm using AIX 5.1 server,
do I need
to install these constructs from CPAN in order to use these
constructs
Spreadsheet::ParseExcel::Simple. I'm new to pel scrpting, my
queston
might be very basic but any help is appreciated.
Can't locate Spreadsheet/ParseExcel/Simple.pm in INC (INC

Hi Vinod

Yes, that means you haven't installed
Spreadsheet::ParseExcel::Simple  
from CPAN but somewhere in your program (either directly or
in a  
module you use) there's a
	use Spreadsheet::ParseExcel::Simple;
somewhere.

isn't that what you see in the path just a sort of a
distrubution 
package simply copied into Perl lib path, instead of being
installed? As 
far as I read from perl manuals, and also from what I see in
my system, 
you should rather see something like:
/path/to/perl/lib/Spreadsheet/ParseExcel/Simple.pm
So verify with your admins if they really installed the
package in the 
Perl way.

Or, alternatively install the package yourself locally in
your home 
directory, for instance in a subdirectory 'lib' and use `use
lib "lib"' 
in your script. `use lib' is the way to make INC
happy, and answers the 
below question. Consult 'man lib' for more details.

I had the same doubt, unix sa might have just copied the
module, to
make INC happy i added the new path to INC using
push(INC,
"/usr/opt/perl5/lib/Spreadsheet-ParseExcel-Simple-1.04/
lib/
Spreadsheet/ParseExcel/"); but still getting the same
error, so to
figure our if the sa installed it properly I used perldoc
perllocal
and perldoc Spreadsheet::ParseExcel::Simple, none of these
commands
show this module being installed. Can I confidently say to
my unix sa
that he didnt install the module but instead copied the
module.
If Simple.pm uses ParseExcel.pm in this case do I need to 
install the
Spreadsheet::ParseExcel module, also I see use strict in
Simple.pm, my
guess is I should install strict.pm too, is this correct?
Thanks,
Vinod

its definitely not that kind of the path, the proper pattern
should be what I gave you before. 
Anyway, if the module is installed properly in a system wide
perl lib directory (one of the included 
in INC) then you don't need to do manipulate it.

Then you prove the module was not installed and you may tell
them that.

Tell them to run the following:
`cpan  Spreadsheet::ParseExcel::Simple`
However, if they don't know Perl installation issues this
may fail, as CPAN.pm might not be be 
configured or even installed.

So, the other option is to:

cd a/temp/dir
wget http://search.cpan.org
/CPAN/authors/id/T/TM/TMTM/Spreadsheet-ParseExcel-Simple-1.0
4.tar.gz
tar fxz Spreadsheet-ParseExcel-Simple-1.04.tar.gz
cd Spreadsheet-ParseExcel-Simple-1.04
perl Makefile.PL
make
make test
make install

which is more-less just a manual way of what cpan does.

If this is too difficult for them then do it yourself, with
the exception of `make install`, instead 
of which you find just built
Spreadsheet/ParseExcel/Simple.pm tree and move it to
your/own/perl/lib 
directory which you then point in your script with 'use lib
qw(your/own/perl/lib);'

I believe that there is a way to configure Perl to make it
possible to have `make install` 
installing both modules and manpages to a local user's
subdirectories. It's definitely possible with 
cpan utility, through its Config.pm module, but I don't know
how to achieve that with the `make` 
method. Can anyone in the group help?

Yes, because Spreadsheet::ParseExcel is not a standard Perl
module.

> guess is I should install strict.pm too, is this
correct?
No, it is already present in core Perl distribution, as well
as many other pragmas and standard modules.
