Menu
The version of PPM (4.06, and I run it under Windows) directly puts me into a GUI which is a nice but since I'm quite comfortable with the command-line prompt so I still want to find a way to get a command-line prompt instead of a GUI.

Open the command prompt (cmd.exe) and run state activate ActiveState/ActivePerl-5.28 . This command downloads the runtime environment from the ActiveState Platform, configures it, and creates an “activated state”, an isolated environment for you to work in.
The easiest way to install additional modules into ActivePerl is by using PPM, the Perl Package Manager. But on each platform there is also a free native C compiler available that can be used to build modules locally if that turns out to be necessary.
Perl is installed by default in C:\Perl . The default drive " C " selected will be the same drive that the operating system is installed on, or the drive that has the largest amount of space available.
If you call ppm without arguments or as ppm gui, then it will be used the GUI. If you use other parameters, then the GUI will not be used.
The list of the arguments accepted by the command includes
ppm install [--area <area>] [--force] <pkg>
ppm install [--area <area>] [--force] <module>
ppm install [--area <area>] <url>
ppm upgrade [--install]
ppm upgrade <pkg>
ppm upgrade <module>
ppm remove [--area <area>] [--force] <pkg>
ppm area list [--csv] [--no-header]
ppm area sync
ppm list [--fields <fieldnames>] [--csv]
ppm list <area> [--fields <fieldnames>] [--csv]
ppm files <pkg>
ppm verify [<pkg>]
You can find the complete list at ActivePerl.
