1. Extract the files.
2. Try moving extracted the files/directories *themselves* in your
c:\programme\perl580 directory, if they aren't already there.
3. I've had problems using 'rep rename ...' too. You could try deleting
the local repository you created, and then starting over.
4. Read the docs => ActivePerl Components => PPM
'ppm install PATH2/MOD_NAME.ppd' will also allow you to install locally.
(use the absolute path to where the *.ppd file is located)
