Either use PPM::Repositories to add all known repositories to ppm and search again, seach google for PDF-Reuse-Barcode.ppd and see if any of them match your perl version (you don't tell us this) and architecture. Alternativly from within ppm type:
install mingw
To install MinGW tools (gcc etc) along with dmake. Once this has been done try installing from cpan.

Here's my verison of Perl install on Win7 x64 O/S.
C:\Windows\system32>perl -v
This is perl, v5.10.1 built for MSWin32-x64-multi-thread
(with 2 registered patches, see perl -V for more detail)
I googled for the ppd without any luck. Will try again.

Generally PPM is very good at connecting to different repositories, in that way if a package wasn't in the default repository you can look it up in another different one, however, these repositories have to be introduced to ppm, that can be done from either the GUI interface or the PPM console itself. Check this Faq. Then again, to optimize PPM performance, these repos can be activated and deactivated as well.
On another note, if you want to install a package manually, that can be as easy as getting its zipped file and then extracting that file to either perl/site/lib or perl/lib, after that, if you're on a Windows box, you've to have utilities that're similar to make, I tried dmake, nmake and the tools from UnxUtils. Manual installation of packages becomes handy if your machine doesn't have access privileges to connect to these repositories through PPM for example.
Last, as was also suggest, MinGW is an interesting choice as well...
