in thread installing cpan
Actually, you can install directly from CPAN with ActivePerl. By default, it will only be able to install modules that are pure Perl and don't need to be compiled. For 32-bit ActivePerl, you can use PPM to install MinGW and dmake from ActiveState's repository and the you can install modules from CPAN that need to be compiled.
As a side note, I will concede that installing modules via PPM (especially from ActiveState's repository) usually has a lower risk of issues than installing directly from CPAN.
