I think you mean ActiveState.

I used ppm to install Sybase:Blib

I think you mean "I failed to..."

In PPM unlike CPAN you need to specify the distribution name not the
module name in the install command.

Often the distribution name is the same as the module name with '::'
replaced by '-' so if you type something that looks like a module name
then PPM will try that but this is only a heuristic that works occasionally.

Looking on http://search.cpan.org/ I found that the distribution that
contains Sybase:Blib is sybperl.

I don't know if its on the ActiveState's PD repository.

There is an ActiveState binary for sybperl at
http://www.peppler.org/downloads/ActiveState

Note that I don't use Windows myself, so I have no personal knowledge on
how to install this, or how well it works.
