Hello all! I'm having a heck of a time getting PPM to work so I can install a package
(DBI). But when I launch PPM from a freshly-installed Perl installation (from the
file ActivePerl-5.6.1.633-MSWin32-x86.msi), I can't get past these errors:

Perl seems to work fine on several little projects that I've built, I just can't seem
to use PPM out of the box.
For more specifics on my installed Perl, here's the output of "perl -V":
