I had the same problem, but the Installation Guide points out what to do.
Point 2 is the important thing to note:

Upgrading from ActivePerl 5.8.x
If you have installed modules using the PPM included with earlier versions
of ActivePerl 5.8, use the following steps to upgrade ActivePerl. PPM
modules can only be migrated to later ActivePerl builds if you installed
ActivePerl using the MSI Installer.

1       Use Window's Add / Remove Programs applet (accessible from the
Control Panel) to uninstall ActivePerl. 
2       Manually delete all directories beneath the Perl installation
directory (by default C:\Perl) except the site\lib directory. 
3       Install ActivePerl to the same directory (i.e., C:\Perl). 
4       Use the ppm upgrade command to check for module updates.

It would be good to get the installer to offer to do this as *no-one* reads
installation notes before doing an upgrade they have done several times
before with earlier versions:-)
