Not to my knowledge it doesn't. I use the ActiveState distribution of Perl, and I didn't have to do anything but use the ppm to install the module from the ActiveState repository.

Since you use the IndigoStar distro, you could still download the distro as a .zip file from ActiveState, unzip it to a temporary directory, and then use the dpm program that comes with IndigoStar to install it.
