I don't know what you tried. Here's what I just did, using ppm V 2.1.6 &=
 Perl V 
5.8.7 from Randy Kobes at uwinnipeg:

o Manually delete Archive::Tar

o C:\Backup>ppm install --location=3Dhttp://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/ppms 
Archive::Tar
Can't locate Archive/Tar.pm in @INC (@INC contains: C:/Perl/lib=

.) at C:/Perl/site/
lib/PPM.pm line 28.

o Install local copy of V 1.29 'manually' (via a program actually)

o C:\Backup>ppm install --location=3Dhttp://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/ppms 
Archive::Tar
Version 0.072 of 'Archive-Tar' is already installed.
Remove it, or use 'verify --upgrade Archive-Tar'.
(This is because it's mentioned in C:\Perl\site\lib\ppm.xml)

C:\Backup>ppm verify --upgrade --location=3Dhttp://theoryx5.uwinnipeg.ca/ppms=
