If it were available as a PPM download for ActivePerl 5.8 you'd just do 'ppm' and then 'install GD' to install it from activestate's ppm archive.(which is the default/preconfigured repository in PPM)
GD uses XS stuff, so its not binary compatible with 5.8 blahblahblah unless you recompile. I'm guessing there's good reason behind it not yet being available as a PPM download for 5.8 given its a more popular module.
If it is available I'm blind or not finding the right repository to look in? I'm kinda eager for that module myself...thought about trying my hand at compiling it myself, but I usually resist that urge on windows.
ppm> search GD

1. GD-Barcode [1.13] Create barcode image with GD
2. GD-Dashboard [0.04] Perl module to create JPEG graphics of meters and dials
3. GDGraph-Map [1.05] generate HTML map text for GD::Graph diagramms.
