Well, that's only part of the answer and only partially correct. The comment re needing v 3 -- unless it's a joke -- is not precisely true. See bingos below, or read further about ppm4's behavior from the command line when invoked with and without arguments.
Update, 26 Jan 07: details below
C:\>ppm help
NAME
ppm - Perl Package Manager, version 4.00
<snip> approx 1/2 screen of SYNOPSIS, etc </snip>
Invoking "ppm" without arguments brings up the graphical user interfa
+ce,
but ppm can also be used as a command line tool where the first argum

provide the name of the sub-command to invoke. The following ....

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).
