You don't want to do that - rather, try
 C:\> ppm install http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/ppms/mod_perl.ppd
The address
 http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/cgi-bin/ppmserver?urn:/PPMServer58
is what you can set the repository to within the ppm shell.

There was recent discussion on the perl-win32-users mailing list
(archives at http://www.activestate.com/) about this. Part of the
problem I think is that ppm-ia.ActiveState.com isn't running yet.
One recommendation was to use ppm2 for now.
