newbie PPM question

Hello,
Not new to using Perl, but new to trying to install it and use it on a Windows NT platform. Doing this in order to load Andy Duncans Oracle/Perl modules. Got PPM running and want, basically to do as follows:

ppm install PDBA

According to the instructions, entering "ppm" should give me a commandline. It doesn't, I get a GUI interface. OK. UNfortunately, search seems to direct me only to the ActiveState repositories.

How do I get to either the command line PPM, or direct the GUI to look inthe current directory and not up at ActiveState?

Thanks for any help,

Paul Mitchell
