Perl install module fail on WIN10

I was trying to install Spreadsheet::WriteExcel module via CPAN tool for Aactive Perl(5.28.1 version).

However , when I executed command "cpan install Spreadsheet::WriteExcel" , it showed some error and terminated the installation automatically.

The log is showing down below.

enter image description here

According to logs , I also tried to install dmake module , but still not working

Does anyone know how to fix this problem so I can install module properly?

You are missing two dependencies, OLE::Storage_Lite and Parse::RecDescent. Says it right in the error message. You are also missing the command dmake needed to compile the module. And if the module needs dmake, it's probably going to need a compiler too. Read the documentation for the module you are trying to install to see which one.
