Why not give them a batch file that 'ppm install's all the modules you might need?
The first call will take a while to update the packlists regardless of whether it downloads or not, and any call that needs to download and install something will take a while... But the rest of the calls for things already installed return quite quickly, so you can just include everything you use in the batch file and it won't be too slow.
C:\>ppm install opengl

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
