Not really. I just tried that exact line, and PPM complained about not being able to find a "PPM binary for this platform". I tried this with the Net-Daemon package that Billy was trying to install, and got the same problems. I unzipped the Net-Daemon package, and it looks like it's all Perl code, but PPM still won't let it be installed.
