Run "perl -V" and see the contents of the @INC array. This lists all include paths where perl looks for additional modules. Note that you can make perl look into additional folders by specifying the -I flag or manipulating the @INC variable. > If i need to install a new package example : > > Spreadsheet::WriteExcel > > What are the steps i should follow. The installation procedure is different if you want to install the package for yourself (eg on a shared hosting provider), or for all users (eg on your own box). There are some distro specific ways of doing this too. These CPAN instructions should get you started: http://www.cpan.org/misc/cpan-faq.html#How_install_Perl_modules Running "perldoc perlmodinstall" should also get you the details. - Raja _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, email [email protected] with "unsubscribe <password> <address>" in the subject or body of the message. http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
