can't install activeperl module

[hinchdog]

i'm very new to activeperl. i just installed it and it works, but i need to install a module that's not in the activeperl library. i downloaded it from CPAN then i unzipped it. i used the command module to browse to the directory where i unzipped the tar file and tried the following line

perl Makefile.PL --PREFIX=/perl


what i got back was "cant open perl script Makefile.PL, no such file or directory"

do i need to download this Markfile.PL file or what am i doing wrong here?

i was wrong, the package can be found in PPM
