Define better? The question you posted had a list of things you had to do in order to automate a couple of programs. The module I suggested provides convenient ways to achieve this. The module documentation is pretty clear on where to get a PPD file, how to build from source. I don't recall having issues with either method when using AS perl, or simply using cpan/cpanm. A quick search shows AS do offer a version, though perhaps not built for your version of AS perl. Make life easier in yourself, switch to Strawberry perl or just follow the documentation for building it yourself ;).
