Perl Module Excel::Writer::XLSX. issue

I'm trying to install "Excel::Writer::XLSX." module using Cygwin, however I'm getting this below issue when its running the make file.

Any help to fix it will be appreciated

Running make for J/JM/JMCNAMARA/Excel-Writer-XLSX-0.88.tar.gz

dmake.exe:  Error executing '\bin\bash': No such file or directory
dmake.exe:  Error code 255, while making 'blib\lib\Excel\Writer\.exists'
  JMCNAMARA/Excel-Writer-XLSX-0.88.tar.gz
  C:\Perl64\site\bin\dmake.exe -- NOT OK

Failed during this command:
 JMCNAMARA/Excel-Writer-XLSX-0.88.tar.gz      : make NO
Solution

  • dmake and C:\Perl64 in your output are clues that you have some other version of Perl for Windows on your system, and it appears in your PATH ahead of your Perl for Cygwin. Fix that issue first.
