Hello All, I am using MacPerl version 5.2.0r4 (17Apr98) on a Mac G4 using MacOs 9.1. It has 64 megs of RAM and VM is on. I am using the CPAN-shell to install Spreadsheet::WriteExcel. At the prompt I typed: install 'Spreadsheet::WriteExcel' and off it took. After a couple of minutes it came back with the following message: # Can't unlink file :tmp:Spreadsheet-WriteExcel-0.31:WriteExcel:doc:merge1.gif:: Permission denied File 'Cyberia:Applications (Mac OS 9):MacPerl Ÿ:site_perl:CPAN.pm'; Line 3184 # Can't unlink file :tmp:Spreadsheet-WriteExcel-0.31:WriteExcel:doc:merge1.gif:: Permission denied File 'Cyberia:Applications (Mac OS 9):MacPerl Ÿ:site_perl:CPAN.pm'; Line 3184 # Can't unlink file :tmp:Spreadsheet-WriteExcel-0.31:WriteExcel:doc:merge1.gif:: Permission denied File 'Cyberia:Applications (Mac OS 9):MacPerl Ÿ:site_perl:CPAN.pm'; Line 3184 # Can't unlink file :tmp:Spreadsheet-WriteExcel-0.31:WriteExcel:doc:merge1.gif:: File 'Cyberia:Applications (Mac OS 9):MacPerl Ÿ:site_perl:CPAN.pm'; Line 3184 # Can't unlink file :tmp:Spreadsheet-WriteExcel-0.31:WriteExcel:doc:merge1.gif:: Permission denied File 'Cyberia:Applications (Mac OS 9):MacPerl Ÿ:site_perl:CPAN.pm'; Line 3184 # Can't unlink file :tmp:Spreadsheet-WriteExcel-0.31:WriteExcel:doc:merge1.gif:: Permission denied And so on and so on. Can anyone get this module to load? Any hints as to what I should do next? Elton ========================================================================= NOVA 505 W.
