following this guide you cannot install the module i have posted link. By steps i mean what to download from the link i have posted, how to convert it to the required files that ActivePerl can install.

http://docs.activestate.com/activeperl/5.10/faq/ActivePerl-faq2.html#CPAN_shell seems to cover the question.

Except, the FAQ isn't what I'd F do. For ActivePerl I like to keep all my modules managed under PPM. Consistency makes life simpler.

You can add additional PPM repos to PPM, if you can find them. The easiest way to do so is to look at Kobesearch.

For your module, it shows one PPM for Perl 5.8.

But if you can't find your module in a PPM that will work, you can build a PPM easily by using PPM::Make. Download a tarball of the module, unpack it and run make_ppm. If you are properly configured to build Perl modules, you will wind up with a PPM file. You can then install it with ppm install foo.ppm from the command line.
