ActivePerl includes Net::FTP. You don't need to install it.
If there is some other module you want to install, depending on the
module, you may be able to use the CPAN shell to install it:
perl -MCPAN -eshell
This will probably take you through a configuration dialog the first time
you run it.
For help type 'h' and hit enter.
You will need a C compiler (probably only MSVC for ActivePerl) installed
to install some modules this way.
