in reply to Adding modules to a PC manually

It is essential that, if you are using ActiveState and its package-system, you must confine yourself to using that system:   do not muddy-the-waters either with CPAN or with direct installs from .gz files.   (The packaging system would thereby be caused to lose track of what is actually happening, of course, and much entirely-avoidable grief would ensue.)   Even if you must “sneaker-net” the package files to a computer that has no network connectivity at all, you must install packages, and nothing else.

    This makes great sense but what do I do when I am using ActiveState and ppm does not install PDL correctly? I have to find some way of "fixing" the install and I've found nothing to date.
