When you say that you unzip those .zip files into the repository
directory - where are you getting those .zip files from? I'm asking
because some people think that they can just grab a CPAN package and
have it magically work with ppm - but you have to build the ppd package
manually from the CPAN package and only then will it work with ppm.
