OP knows they are dealing with ActiveState and Perl, adding either of those two words finds what is required

Oh, yes - searching for "ActiveState ppd file" produces much more promising results.

They contain a list of files which will be installed

Are you sure about that ?
The ppd files that I create for MS Windows ppm packages certainly don't contain any such info, and I'm of the opinion (without actually having gone to the trouble of recently checking) that the ppd files provided (for Windows) by ActiveState are also devoid of such info.
Admittedly, we are talking about Macs here - and I have to confess that I don't know what the ppd files for that OS look like. I see no reason to think that the Mac ppd files would be significantly different ... but , it *is* Macs after all, and that makes speculation a very risky business indeed.

Cheers,
Rob
