Unless maybe you're on a sindows box that doesn't have make and you haven't
(or the sys admin won't) install cygwin and anyway you need to compile
binaries and <gorp> it can't find a DLL so you just want to use activestates
pre-tested, pre-compiled, thingies since you paid for the friggin cd and...
Not that I'd ever use ppm or -MCPAN myself though.
