Red_Dragon:

The URL you provided appears to be correct if you're interested in CPAN packages. Note that the URL is to the root of a hierarchy of packages, and the root level doesn't contain any package itself.

But I think the problem you're having is that you're wanting to use the Active State package manager to install packages. For that, you're not going to want a CPAN repository, but an Active State package repository. A quick googling returns http://ppm4.activestate.com/ which has pointers to several PPM repositories. The PPM repositories may have some of the CPAN modules, but may be out-of-date, patched, etc. So if you want to use CPAN modules, you can do so, but you can't do it with the active state package manager. If you want to use the active state package manager, then you can't use CPAN.
