ActiveState install Spreadsheet::WriteExcel

[zackiv31]

Ok figured out the package manager for ActivePerl.. but I'm having trouble installing SpreadSheet::WriteExcel.

I checked out this page:

http://ppm.activestate.com/BuildStatus/5.10-S.html

and next to windows, it says it failed... So I think thats why its not showing up in my Perl Package Manager.

I've linked to two external repositories, bribes and uwinnipeg.. but they don't have the ppm either.

How can I install this package? Where can I find it? Is it possible to manually download a package from CPAN and install it myself under windows (the tar file)? The PackageManager simplifies it so well, but for this one it isn't working.. hmmm

If you want the most stable package installations you might want to go back to 5.8

5.8 says it failed as well.. how will that change it?

Well it says it failed... but I downgraded to 5.88 and all is well.
