Can't locate Spreadsheet/ParseExcel.pm in @INC though it's seems to be installed

Question

Can't locate Spreadsheet/ParseExcel.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /etc/perl /usr/local/lib/perl/5.14.2 /usr/local/share/perl/5.14.2 /usr/lib/perl5 /usr/share/perl5 /usr/lib/perl/5.14 /usr/share/perl/5.14 /usr/local/lib/site_perl .)

though it's installed:

% perl -e'use CPAN; install "Spreadsheet:WriteExcel"'

Going to read '/home/aspect_mkn8rd/.cpan/Metadata'
  Database was generated on Sun, 27 Apr 2014 09:41:02 GMT
Spreadsheet::WriteExcel is up to date (2.40).

That's where it located, yep?

% ls -la /usr/local/lib/perl/5.14.2/auto/Spreadsheet/WriteExcel

% perldoc -l Spreadsheet::WriteExcel   

/usr/local/share/perl/5.14.2/Spreadsheet/WriteExcel.pm

So why? What should I do?

Answer 1

Spreadsheet::ParseExcel and Spreadsheet::WriteExcel are different modules.

Have you installed the former too?

If not, just do the following:

perl -e'use CPAN; install "Spreadsheet::ParseExcel"'

Answer 2

There are 2 ways to go about the same:

1. use lib '/path/to/directory' where the module is stored

2. perl -I /path/to/directory test.pl where you include the module using the command line option -I

Voilá, here you go, happy coding
