PPM is not for running your perl programs. Its for installing modules and other tasks related to modules. On Windows the way I prefer to run a perl program is open a DOS (or Command) Window and type:

perl scriptname optional-arguments

You may need to add the path to the perl program:

perl c:\whatever\scriptname optional-arguments

activeperl also comes with a whole lot of documentation so you need to start reading it.
