After running the installer from ActiveState to get the base Perl installation working, and PPM for the modules that require it, you can manually install pure Perl (non-C-reliant) modules in the appropriate hierarchy in: <C:\Perl\site\lib\> [if C:\Perl is the name of your Perl installation; change the path before "\site\lib\" to point to the appropriate base folder on your machine--possibly Perl64 or some other name] and then deal with any other requirements of the module (such as databases or other files created by the Makefile.PL, which may need to be edited to create/run just those parts, and which often need changes to the paths in the pl to get them working correctly). I know that some modules fail to install from PPM (my own MARC::Errorchecks when one attempts to install after or at the same time as MARC::Lint because both include MARC::Lint::CodeData--I will likely remove it from Errorchecks in the next version and then require MARC::Lint to be installed).
