Line 1: '''Perl Package Manager''' (''PPM'') is a [[Perl]] utility intended to simplify the tasks of locating, installing, upgrading and removing software packages. It can determine if the most recent version of a software package is installed on a system, and can install or upgrade that package from a local or remote host. PPM is widespread on [[Microsoft Windows]] systems, which ~~sometimes~~often lack ofthe [[C (programming language)\|C]] orand [[C++]] ~~compiler~~compilers necessary to build some Perl modules. Popular [[ActiveState]]'s ActivePerl distribution comes with included PPM, other distributions can use PPM after acquiring and building PPM module from [[CPAN]].
