Hi,
without knowing too much about ActiveState Perl and ppm (last time I had to use it was years ago...), I think you should read A guide to installing modules for Win32 on how to properly install modules.

It's actually quite funny that you are

"reluctant to install any module that is not within the ActivePerl package manager"


while at the same time you wildly want to copy stuff that you believe could be the right thing somewhere you believe could be the right place.

PPM is definitely the thinggie to go with if you need to install modules on a Windooze box. Speaking of security - it all boils down to only adding repositories you trust - but that's up to you to decide.
