[edit] ActivePerl 5.12

PERL_PATH adds perl to the Windows path. PERL_EXT associates perl with .pl files. See the documentation in the related links for more details. 

<package
  id="activeperl"
  name="Active Perl"
  revision="%version%"
  priority="50">
 
  <variable name="version" value="5.12.1" />
 
  <check
    type="uninstall"
    condition="exists"
    path="ActivePerl %version% Build 1201" />
 
  <install cmd='msiexec /qn /i "%SOFTWARE%\apps\activeperl\ActivePerl-%version%.1201-MSWin32-x86-292674.msi" PERL_PATH=Yes PERL_EXT=Yes' />
  <upgrade cmd='msiexec /qn /i "%SOFTWARE%\apps\activeperl\ActivePerl-%version%.1201-MSWin32-x86-292674.msi" PERL_PATH=Yes PERL_EXT=Yes' />

[edit] ActivePerl 5.10

<package id="perl" name="ActiveState Perl" revision="2" priority="800" reboot="false">
 
<check type='uninstall' condition='exists' path='ActivePerl 5.10.0 Build 1003' />
<install cmd='msiexec /qn /i  %SOFTWARE%\perl\ActivePerl-5.10.0.1003-MSWin32-x86-285500.msi PERL_PATH=Yes PERL_EXT=Yes' />
<upgrade cmd='msiexec /qn /i %SOFTWARE%\perl\ActivePerl-5.10.0.1003-MSWin32-x86-285500.msi PERL_PATH=Yes PERL_EXT=Yes' />

</package>

[edit] Installing Modules

To install modules from a local repository (as opposed to the Activestate repository) 

 SET LOCALPACKAGEREP=\\server\share
 ppm rep add "Local" %LOCALPACKAGEREP%
 ppm install %LOCALPACKAGEREP%\net-ip\Win32-FileOp.ppd

Each ppd file contains a reference to a tar.gz file that is usally kept in the same folder. Just make sure that you have all the dependancies for the modules (again, in the ppd file)
