I realize that 404 means the file i'm requesting isn't there. My concern is 'why' it isn't there. PPM does not have the exhaustive list of modules that CPAN does, but modules that aren't there, usually don't show up in search results. These modules are, but still 'don't exist'. I am able to download and install many other modules from the repository that these are located on.

Repositories:
(Default)
http://ppm4.activestate.com/MSWin32-x86/5.8/822/package.xml
*This is where these modules 'should be'*
(Added)
http://cpan.uwinnipeg.ca/PPMPackages/10xx/package.xml
