really strange; the file name is Win32-GUI-0.0.434-PPM.tar.gz,
as the PPD says. dunno why your PPM does this s/gz/zip/ stuff...

you can download the PPD file, download the .tar.gz, put it
in a directory called MSWin32-x86-multi-thread and install it
locally, eg:
* save http://dada.perl.it/PPM/Win32-GUI.ppd
as C:\TEMP\Win32-GUI.ppd
* save http://dada.perl.it/PPM/MSWin32-x86-multi-thread/ ...
... /Win32-GUI-0.0.434.tar.gz
as C:\TEMP\MSWin32-x86-multi-thread/Win32-GUI-0.0.434.tar.gz
* go in C:\TEMP
* type: ppm install Win32-GUI.ppd
hope this helps...
cheers,
Aldo
