Yes, PPM is a good way to do things with the ActiveState perl.
The main thing this is good for is modules which require 'make' and/or a C compiler to build.
OTOH, If you want to use funky modules which don't need a C compiler, get a copy of WinZip (http://www.winzip.com) or, although it might be a bit Unixy, GNU tar (http://www.gnu.org).
They both understand .gz and .tar files just fine.
You can then pull out the .pm files you need and move them over to your site directory.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.

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).

Want more info? How to link
or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
