You could use the "use lib" construct, e.g.,
use lib qw(/Spreadsheet/ParseExcelSimple);
Of course, specify paths as your applications require.

If it can't find it, then I suggest it needs to be installed.
Perl comes with a number of "inbuilt" modules, but there are thousands of
others that are available (See http://www.cpan.org )
On windows, there is a system for installing modules, and you need to use
that to get the required module
