Trouble setting up Server

[Avaran]

I'm following the directions on the Wiki word for word...

Perl

Install ActivePerl 5.8 to C:\perl
After installation is complete, click "Start" then "Run" and type in "ppm" and press Enter.
In the PPM window, you will now need to install 3 packages. Do this by typing the following.
"Install DBI"
"Install DBD-mysql"
"Install IO-stringy"

After all 3 are installed, close the PPM window.

When I run the ppm I get a command prompt, then I type in 'Install DBI' and it accepts the command, but nothing happens.

I'm running windows XP, and I have done everything up to this point including installing the MySQL CC.

Thank you!
