ppm does not constitute CPAN support. It does provide for (some, limited) module installation, but what it provides is only comparable to what is available for other languages, like Java or Python; it is not full CPAN support. Many modules are not available at all, and those that are available are usually rather badly out of date.
This is not entirely ActiveState's fault. They had to make bricks out of straw to provide anything at all for module installation, due to a marked paucity on the host operating system of the sorts of facilities that are normally expected on a POSIX system (e.g., make).

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).
