Actually, it's pretty simple. You'll need to use an alt. ppm
repositories to get these modules:
http://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/ppms/
that URL contains the instructions on how to add the repository, and
then it's integrated into your ppm session; just use install, search,
or whatever. Bonus points for the future:
http://kobesearch.cpan.org/
Searching for modules there will give you info on which already have
PPM packages, and where those packages are located. Also, most Perl
modules don't need a full-scale C compiler, just NMAKE, see:
http://perlmonks.org/?node_id=128077
for more on that process.

His module. As someone who himself hard-coded a solution, with an eye
towards a module, for handing Google Calendar, using the module is
going to be a big win for you in terms on maintenance. And the vast
array of modules are exactly why Perl has CPAN, and why CPAN rocks so
hard.
