What I'm using is working reasonably well for ActiveState 5.6.*, there's 
problems with 5.8.0, though which still need to be resolved. Here's the 
Perl code (checked into CVS under eg/release, it's not part of the 
distribution) I use under Linux to wrap the Win32 package, hope that helps:

# Win32 package
print "Building Win32 ppm distribution ...\n";
system("make clean; perl Makefile.PL 
BINARY_LOCATION=\"http://log4perl.sourceforge.net/ppm/Log-Log4perl.tar.gz\"; 
make; make ppd; tar zcf Log-Log4perl.tar.gz blib");
print "Patching Log-Log4perl.ppd ...\n";
open FILE, "<Log-Log4perl.ppd" or die "Cannot open Log-Log4perl.ppd";
my $data = join '', <FILE>;
close FILE;
$data =~ s#^.*?Test-(More|Simple).*?\n##mg;
$data =~ s#<OS NAME=".*?" />#<OS NAME="MSWin32" />#;
$data =~ s#<ARCHITECTURE NAME=".*?" />#<ARCHITECTURE 
NAME="MSWin32-x86-multi-thread" />#;

open FILE, ">Log-Log4perl.ppd" or die "Cannot open Log-Log4perl.ppd";
print FILE $data;
close FILE;
