I used the ExtUtils::Install module as per Crazyinsomniac's instructions here.
Why did you ignore the rest of the instructions?
I didn't use PPM because Crazyinsomniac's version didn't seem to come with a ppd file. The .ppd link on the page was just a string of text about the module.

I run a Win32 PPM repository for perl 5.6.x and 5.8.x -- I take requests (README).

    Whoops. I didn't realize that ppd files were XML based. I think it works now. Thanks
