"I don't really see how either of those searches results in anything useful for the OP. "

Obviously context is key, this is true for any kind of search. OP knows they are dealing with ActiveState and Perl, adding either of those two words finds what is required, ActiveState documentation and so fourth.

"but those ppd files don't contain any info regarding the destination of the files."

They contain a list of files which will be installed, OP could have searched their file system to find all instance of these files, thus providing them with the information they require, the path to the AS version of pp. Alternatively they could make life easier on themselves and take the advice given the last time the posted about module installation woes (and earlier in this thread), setup a sane environment, which would have prevented the whole issue.
