The registry entries aren't really used anymore. It seems like you
renamed your Perl directory. That is a bad idea: various paths inside
both Perl\lib\Config.pm as well as PPM configuration information must be
updated to keep Perl and PPM working correctly.
You could try to use the Perl\bin\reloc_perl.bat script to update your
installation to the new path. Make a backup of your tree first, as
reloc_perl with the wrong parameters may mangle your installation even
further. I would recommend to move your Perl tree back to the original
location.
Cheers,

PS: There is also a dedicated PPM mailing list for questions/problems with
PPM.
