ppm3 works just fine for me most of the time, but when it don't, well, it ain't no secret you don't need the ppm3 shell to install modules, as you can read at
http://crazyinsomniac.perlmonk.org/perl/ppm (among other places).
I have experienced the problem you describe, and the cure was simple, reinstall. Anyway, you don't need PPM to list locally installed modules, all you need is the lastest ExtUtils-MakeMaker, which comes with ExtUtils::Installed, which will list them for you. It comes with the utility `instmodsh', which isn't bug free (the tar option is broken cause it relies on the tar utility with an -I option, which ain't in cygwin), but still cool none-the-less Since the perl core is given the name 'Perl' in the modules listed by ExtUtils::Installed, here is a nice oneliner to list them Man-oh-man I can't wait for CPANPLUS to add PPM support
