Are there instructions available for creating HTML pages from a module's POD and then linking it into ActivePerl's documentation?
At first I used to use ActivePerl::DocTools. Soon after I wrote ActivePerl::DocTools::TOC::HTML::Podmaster. Around that time ActiveState started removing the pod from all the ActivePerl::* modules. I didn't like that very much, so I wrote Pod::Master. I now use Pod::Master exclusively.
Also, what other things does PPM handle that is specific for ActivePerl? I've noticed something about PPM3 registering installed modules with ActiveState.
I haven't seen anything about that, but then I don't have an ActiveState account, or buy any of ActiveStates producs (I get the free stuff). What you're describing are ActiveState Developer profiles (or something like that). I don't use that feature (apparently if you use ActiveState flavored TCL, Python ... you can also use PPM to manage those, but I don't use TCL, and I don't use ActiveState flavored Python).

update: if you don't bother to look at ActivePerl::DocTools::TOC::HTML::Podmaster, or look inside ActivePerl::DocTools, how you (or PPM for that matter) update the html is 

perl -MActivePerl::DocTools -e UpdateHTML()

That's basically what PPM does after you use it to install a module.

I run a Win32 PPM repository for perl 5.6.x and 5.8.x -- I take requests (README).
