I'm sorry, I meant to say "The PPM files you downloaded" were for another version of Perl.

You install Win32::API like you install any other Perl module:

C:\>cpan Win32::API

[download]

or alternatively, download and unpack Win32::API:

C:\> cpan
cpan> look Win32::API
C:\...>perl Makefile.PL
C:\...>perl -V:make
C:\...>dmake
C:\...>dmake test
C:\...>dmake install

[download]

Depending on the output of perl -V:make you might need to use a different program than dmake. Most likely that is nmake.

See A guide to installing modules for Win32 for example.
