Many modules only need "make". Many modules include C code and need a C compiler. Perhaps it would be a good thing if ActiveState would refrain from making PPM distributions for modules that don't require a C compiler. Perhaps it would be even better if the PPM client knew how to use CPAN for such modules instead.

I think it would be great if ActiveState would switch to building their free binary distribution of Perl with a free C compiler so only the lazy would have to use PPM. (:

P.S. Win32::PerfLib probably just returns the insanity that is Win32 performance data blocks. Those are certainly lots of fun!
