Change the '::' separator to '-', ie: ppm install Spreadsheet-WriteExcel

If you're running from the ppm prompt, you can search then install by the number of the result.

What an awkward sentence that was! I'll just paste a screenshot:

ppm> search WriteExcel
Searching in Active Repositories
  1. Spreadsheet-WriteEx~ [0.41] (none)
  2. Spreadsheet-WriteEx~ [0.42] Write to a cross platform Excel binar

  3. Spreadsheet-WriteEx~ [0.42] Write to a cross platform Excel binar
+y file
  4. Spreadsheet-WriteEx~ [0.09] Convert a database table to an Excel

  5. Spreadsheet-WriteEx~ [1.01] Create Excel Spreadsheet from XML
  6. Spreadsheet-WriteEx~ [1.02] Create Excel Spreadsheet from XML
  7. Spreadsheet-WriteEx~ [1.02] Create Excel Spreadsheet from XML
  8. Spreadsheet-WriteEx~ [0.03] A simple single-sheet Excel document

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. 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).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
