The query in ppm uses a glob pattern so it makes sense that it would match lib"win32" since you query was on "win32". Any module name that contains "win32" would be returned. In my case it returns :
ppm> query win3 Querying target 1 (ActivePerl 5.8.0.806) 1. libwin32 [0.20] A collection of extensions that aims + to provide comprehensive access to the Windows ~ 2.
