If you have an ActiveState-style Perl, you are strongly encouraged to use ppm remotely to install modules.
*
A note about the column below labelled '*.zip+ppm':
As explained in the installation help, you can install these modules using ppm remotely. However, if you choose to download the ActiveState-style distro, you actually download a *.zip file. This file contains a *.ppd file, which is input to ppm.
