in reply to PPM Help

Hello, I don't know if anyone here will be able to help me but its worth a shot! I've downloaded activeperl and the ppm as recommended to me by a friend.

This sounds like a mistake: "and the ppm". That comes standard with the ActiveState installation. You don't have to do anything special to get this.

If you open a command window and type PPM, this should launch a GUI version of Perl Package Manager (PPM). If it doesn't then navigate to: C:\Perl\bin and try again. I suspect that something is wrong in your path or environment names.

If that doesn't work, then unistall, reboot(yeah, its a Windows thing), then re-install, then re-boot (yeah, its a Windows thing).
