Go to your Start Menu->Programs, select ActiveState ActivePerl, then Documentation. Now on the left hand frame, scroll down until you find "perlmodinstall". That document details how to install modules, for various operating systems, including Windows. In summary: if the module has an ActiveState distrobution, use it. Fire up the included 'ppm' utility and just grab the module that way. If not, you'll have to get yourself a copy of 'nmake', and depending on the module you want to install, possibly a C compiler. More information about how and where to get these are available in that document I mentioned above.
