I can't speak specifically to Active State Perl installs but installation into a location with white space in the path is often problematic. Are you using Active State Perl and now want to use PDL or wanting to use PDL which was installed in ASPerl several years ago or what...?
If you don't have a specific requirement for ASPerl itself, then the simplest way to get the latest PDL running on your system would be to get Strawberry Perl Portable from http://strawberryperl.com/releases.html where you can download either the 64bit or 32bit PortableZIP edition + extra PDL related which comes with PDL installed. You can just unzip into a folder on your PC and then double click the portableshell.bat file to start up SPP in a CMD window. You'll have perl, the PDL shells (pdl2 and perldl) and lots of stuff available at the prompt.
