excel - Inability to install Spreadsheet::ParseXLSX or Spreadsheet::XLSX using ppm with ActivePerl v5.22.1 -
i need read .xlsx , .xlsm files perl scripts, having trouble installing xlsx parser using ppm. using activeperl version 5.22.1.
i have no problem installing , using spreadsheet::parseexcel (which works on .xls files excel 2003):
ppm install spreadsheet-parseexcel downloading www.sisyphusion.tk.ppm packlist...not found downloading spreadsheet-parseexcel-0.65...done unpacking spreadsheet-parseexcel-0.65...done generating html spreadsheet-parseexcel-0.65...done updating files in site area...done 30 files installed
but ppm install spreadsheet-parsexlsx gives:
downloading www.sisyphusion.tk.ppm packlist...not found ppm install failed: can't find package provides spreadsheet-parsexlsx
and similar spreadsheet-xlsx.
i tried getting around problem using lower-level package spreadsheet::read; worked fine on excel 2003 .xls file gave error message no xlsx parser installed when tried on .xlsx file -- spreadsheet parser dependencies on parsexlsx won't help.
i've spent hour searching web other instances of same issue have found no definite solution (maybe have not searched in right way; relatively new this). not have c compiler on windows desktop or experience makefiles , have never installed perl module except using ppm. if have alternate installation instructions (not through ppm) please present them @ very basic level, not assuming know cpan or manual file installation.
with background, can me install spreadsheet::parsexlsx module or otherwise efficiently find way parse .xlsx files perl?
thanks help, loren
the message: downloading www.sisyphusion.tk.ppm packlist. shows targeting sisyphusion ppm repository. that's specialist repository limited selection of resources.
the error: not found ppm install failed: can't find package indicates repo targeted not contain pre-compiled copy of module version of perl running.
there several general purpose repos have more content available. in particular, default repository prepared activestate: http://code.activestate.com/ppm/spreadsheet-parseexcel/
