For adding PPM repositories, perhaps including a batch file which does something like
C:\> ppm repo add trouchelle http://trouchelle.com/perl/ppm/
C:\> ppm repo add bribes http://www.bribes.org/perl/ppm/
C:\> ppm repo add uwinnipeg http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/ppms/
might help an accident-prone user?
Also along these lines, if you want to provide a package that demands a non-trivial set of prerequisites, one possibility is to make a
bundled zip archive of all the ppm packages, which then can be installed, in principle, from a batch file - see
http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/ppms/bundles/ for some
examples.

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).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
