I see MATH::Random::MT using ppm and installed it that way against Perl 5.10. Guessing from the results at http://matrix.cpantesters.org/?dist=Math-Random-MT%201.12;maxver=1 I think it likely that you should be able to use ppm with any moderately recent Perl from Active State.

Update: I see you've edited your node substantially since I replied to it so the following is in reply to the edited portion:

You have a fundamental lack of knowledge about how modules work and what a module is. Read use and maybe Perl Modules to understand something of how to use modules, how modules work, and why what you are trying doesn't have any chance of flying.

It's about time you told us which version of Perl you are using and if it's older than 5.10.1 I recommend you update to something newer.

True laziness is hard work
