This is both a notice and a bug. PPM does not work with the ActivePerl install provided with XAMPP so therefore you will not be able to install additional modules with this method. One reason you would want PPM is for installing the Image::Magick perl module and get ImageMagick working in perl scripts. A workaround is to dump the contents of the perl folder and download and install an ActivePerl install into the folder. Unfortunately, this also ruins the mod_perl setup so you need to download and install mod_perl from perl.apache.org or comment out the lines referrring to perl58.dll, libxml2.dll, and mod_perl.so in Apache's httpd.conf so that mod_perl is disabled.
