As you're using Kubuntu it seems logical to use its native utilities for managing packages - aptitude, apt, or synaptic. I think you should find them quite convenient, they allow you easy install a lot of different perl modules from repository. The advantage over ppm is that these utilities will automatically install additional binary libraries that required for some perl modules, e.g. if you're installing libwx-perl it will automatically install wx libraries. Upd: Note, that if you want to install from CPAN perl package Package::Name you should look for libpackage-name-perl package in Ubuntu repository. Also try apt-cache search package-name.

As alternative you can use cpanp to install modules.
