Ah, yes, now that you mention it - I found the same thing. So I just downloaded the zip file, unzipped in a directory I use for modules that cannot be installed automatically, and then manually copied some things to the real Perl tree. I still use the the unzipped package for documentation.
I'd be interested to know how to create a PPD file, though. What should be in it? Anyone?
