The error message would seem to say you typed your command into PPM incorrectly?

I downloaded the zip file from that site and extracted it into c:\temp\rrd\ . I then CD'd into directory c:\temp\rrd\perl-shared . I then started ppm3 and entered the command

install "C:/temp/rrd/perl-shared/RRDs.ppd"
and got output
