Greetings Monks,

I am trying to use a module from CPAN.

use Excel::Writer::XLSX;

I installed the module locally with command

perl -MCPAN -Mlocal::lib -e 'CPAN:install(Excel::Writer::XLSX)'

I could locate the required module in the dir

~/perl5/lib/perl5/Excel/Writer/XLSX.pm

So, I add the lib dir to @INC with command

use lib '~/perl5/lib';

But, I get the error

Can't locate Excel/Writer/XLSX.pm in @INC (@INC contains: ~/perl5/lib ...

I could not figure out the exact dir location, so I tried

use lib '~/perl5/lib/';
use lib '~/perl5/lib/perl5';
use lib '~/perl5/lib/perl5/';

Any help in pointing out the mistake is much appreciated.

Many thanks

If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
