, not getting anything
Not even an error?
When I go to that address, :80 intact, the redirect to http://code.activestate.com/ppm/ is immediate, but then there is a ~5 seconds delay before the page starts to be sent. I assume that the code at the other end is waiting for the PPM client software to send some kind of request, When it doesn't receive it, it just display a normal web page.
I know I am behind the firewall
Is this your own personal firewall, or your company firewall?
If it is your personal firewall, you may need to authorise Perl to perform outbound tctip requests and receive replies.
If it is a company firewall, you'll certainly need to contact your support people. Even if you blagged your way past it, you'd be putting your job at risk if they catch you.
Either way, until you can reach that address manually using your browser, perl won't be able to either.

It is company firewall.
I'd strongly suggest that you ask your support guys for their assistance. Diagnosing this further by guesswork is pointless.
I can change it to http://ppm4.activestate.com from ( http://ppm4.activestate.com:80 )without mentioning port 80
By default, urls starting with http:// go to port 80 anyway, removing the ':80' won't change anything.
You could look at perldoc activeperl::ppm::profile and investigate further, but your tackling the problem from the wrong end.
