I get this error while using read.xls(),

Error in findPerl(verbose = verbose) : 
perl executable not found. Use perl= argument to specify the correct path.
Error in file.exists(tfn) : invalid 'file' argument

How and where to download perl for gdata package in R?

  • Also there are two newer packages, openxlsx and readxl, which use C++ and so can read Excel spreadsheets without needing perl, java or other separately downloaded dependency. – G. Grothendieck Jun 18 '15 at 09:31

use below thing to find the perl

  1. find the location of perl in the system and specify the exact path

read.xls(verbose=FALSE, perl="C:\Perl64\bin\perl.exe")
