You can still use PPM with downloaded archives. You need both a ppd file
and the .tar.gz file, the ppd file must point to your local copy of the
.tar.gz file (preferably with a relative URL). You can get a ZIP from
Activestate's site with both the .tar.gz file (actually, 3 of them --
one for each target platform) and an adjusted ppd file. Unzip (but don't
ungzip-untar), and try again from within the directory you unzipped them
into.
