Hey Gayatri, This must be because your company provides internet service through proxy servers. If so, PPM will not work properly. There are techniques to overcome this problem. But you may have to contact your system admin for that.
Since you are using Windows XP, I would advice you to download the perl modules as "*.zip" files from http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Downloads/ActivePerl/PPM/Zips and set a local repository in your machine. You shall use PPM to set a local repository.
