Paraphrased from the PPM FAQ

A new Perl library location can be defined with the PERL5LIB environment variable. PPM will recognize this library as an install area. To create a new, user-writable install area: (1) Make a directory for the library, for example: \perl\lib. (2) Set or modify the PERL5LIB environment variable to point to this directory. (3) Launch PPM and click the PPM Preferences button. In the Area tab, select the new install area to make it active.

Thanks for the reply fpmurphy. But why are these modules getting installed in "...please run the installed script...." folder ????

if you use the PPM GUI there should be an option for where to install the module.
