Looks like ppm supports http proxying, so that might be an option if
there's a proxy assisted connection available:

http://docs.activestate.com/activeperl/5.10/faq/ActivePerl-faq2.html#ppm_and_proxies

There seems to be a completely manual way to do this too, but I have not
tried it myself:
http://www.perlmonks.org/?node_id=434813#manual

You could, just to be sure, check you do not already have the syslog
module installed since it's been part of core perl for a long time.

Thanks,
Heikki
