in reply to Activestate Perl module upgrade assistance

You can download the *.ppmx files from the PPM build status pages and transfer them to your disconnected machine via CDR or USB memory stick. Then install them with
    ppm install Foo-Bar.ppmx
You may need to remove a previous installation of the module if it also was installed in the site/lib/ tree.

You'll also have to make sure you install all prerequisite modules manually too, as PPM will not be able to fetch them automatically in this scenario.

    I believe typical activestate ppm installation will install in site/lib. Just make sure that your @INC is 'xxx/site/lib' and 'xxx/lib' where xxx is your base AS Perl installation directory. perl -e "print join \"\n\", @INC;"
      PPM will install by default into the first writable directory in @INC. Or you can specify the installation directory using the --area xxxx option. Use
          ppm area list
      
      to get a list of the area names of your directories in @INC (normally just the last segment of the path for each directory, unless it is lib).

      And for ActivePerl site/lib is already in front of lib.
