Its been many months (>1 year++) since I tried to install a package with PPM. I do have a full business license. But I was not able to install this package.
See: ActiveState PPM Availability and the 401 error
Evidently things have changed in respect to repository access over the years and licensing issues matter a lot more now. However, I think you can still do it albeit with more hassle. See the link above - there is a manual download process described. This 401 error has to do with the PPM repository access, not an issue with your system or its directories.
Update: It appears to me that Active State is still "free", but ppm will only work with the current or their edition before that of Perl. Sounds to me like kind of a "forced upgrade". I have no idea why Active State did this.

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).
