OK I don't feel so bad anymore.
First thanks to all of the valuable input. I have subsequently downloaded and installed Active Package Manager - what an incredible tool! Makes life with Perl easy.
But... I tried to install the wbmail-gmail package and got:
Synchronizing Database ... DONE
Mail-Webmail-Gmail marked for install
ERROR: Can't find any package that provide Crypt-SSLeay for Mail-Webmail-Gmail
Any suggestions would be most welcome!

Within ppm4 (the gui interface), you can add repositories
by selecting Edit -> Preferences -> Repositories, and then adding the corresponding
location (and a name you want to remember it by). A
couple of ones you might want to add that have some
popular packages not present in ActiveState's
(extensive) repository are
http://www.bribes.org/perl/ppm and
http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/ppms/. The
Crypt-SSLeay package is in the uwinnipeg
repository, but this contains a post-install script
to download and install the necessary openssl dlls,
and the current ppm4 gui doesn't handle post-install
scripts. What you can do is add these respositories,
quit the gui, and then run
C:\> ppm install Crypt-SSLeay
from a console window.
