Author Installing Perl Module

I am trying to install a module which is not listed in the PPM
database. I have installed modules previously using PPM, pretty simple
just search for the mdoule and click install. However this module is
not found in the PPM database, I dowloaded the module from CPAN and now
I am trying to install. I have tried makefile.pl, moving the module to
numerous directories, changing the
PPM install area, all to no avail. Hope someone can help me with the
steps to install this module.
Iam using Windows XP, and ActivePerl.
Thanks!

Module
Velocis::SQL

That's an old module that may not work under ActivePerl. You can try installing it with the use of the CPAN module.

I was just reading through the active perl documentation the other day
and it mentioned how to install non PPM modules.

I don't remember where I saw it, but I remember seeing it, have a look.
