To get modules for use with activestates perl build, it's best to get them
directly off of activestates site, and you /need/ to do that if you intend
to use ppm to install them. Go here
http://www.activestate.com/PPMPackages/zips/6xx-builds-only/
for a repository of module archives of tested, activestate compatible
modules. Just unzip them, and use "ppm install path\to\foo.ppd" to install.
