For modules found on other than the AS-repository, I added these repositories to the PPM-configuration.

The config file looks like this: 

ActiveState PPM2 Repository: %
    url: http://ppm.ActiveState.com/cgibin/PPM/ppmserver-5.8-windows.p
+l?urn:/PPMServer
ActiveState Package Repository: %
    url: http://ppm.ActiveState.com/PPM/ppmserver-5.8-windows.plex?urn
+:/PPM/Server/SQL
Bribes: %
    password: ""
    url: http://www.bribes.org/perl/ppm
    username: ""
insomniac: %
    url: http://crazyinsomniac.perlmonk.org/perl/ppm/5.8
uwinnipeg: %
    url: http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/cgi-bin/ppmserver?urn:/PPMServer
+58

Then PPM will automatically search these repositories as well.

To add repositories use the rep add [name] <location> command of PPM.

Don't try to install modules by hand by simply copying them to your disk. This will only work for the simplest of the modules. Either use PPM or the CPAN-module (but then you must have nmake.exe installed and some modules need a C-compiler which we poor Win32-users lack).
