in reply to Searching through Modules in CPAN

Not all modules on CPAN are available from ActiveState. Their Build Status page shows which modules are available for which operating system.

Some of the modules that aren't available for Win32 are due to the modules themselves not being Win32 compatible. Some are due to problems with the ActiveState build system.

You might also check out win32.perl.org for more information on Win32 Perl, including alternate repositories and alternatives to ActiveState.
