If it's a pure Perl module, or your environment is already configured
for building modules from CPAN (especially ones that require a
compiler), then it is not a great deal of effort. If can't find it, and
you don't have the resources yourself then might try asking nicely at
http://cpan.uwinnipeg.ca/cgi-bin/ppm-request.

I note from the doco that "KinoSearch is alpha test software. The API
and the file format are subject to change.".

I also note from the Activestate ppm build status
(http://ppm.activestate.com/BuildStatus/5.8-K.html) that KinoSearch
fails to build on Win32, Linux and Solaris because a dependency failed
its tests. It seems to build OK on Darwin.
